DPW Milwaukee

DPW Milwaukee Responsible for the design, maintenance, and operation of Milwaukee’s public infrastructure.

We contribute to the quality of life and economic development of Milwaukee in many ways. We provide the cleanest, safest water in the country; we foster the growth and beauty of our urban forest and boulevards to the envy of others around the country; and we complete sewer, water and paving projects on or ahead of schedule. At any hour, we plow snow to keep our streets safe for passage; we also provide reliable and efficient garbage and recycling collection.

🌳Check out this powerhouse all-female forestry crew. They’ve been getting it done out of our Central District this week, responding to emergency and high-priority calls.

Just a few of the women who help keep Milwaukee moving. 💪

Together with VIA Community Development Corporation and AARP Wisconsin, we're turning these piles of dirt into a pathway from Arlington Heights Park, underneath the 35th Street Viaduct on Pierce Street, to National Avenue!

We anticipate that the pathway will be ready for action in time for Silver City Festival on Saturday, September 12!

On Sunday, August 2, DPW was proud to answer the call for help in the Fox Valley following the catastrophic EF-3 tornado.

We sent two rear load garbage trucks and four employees to assist with cleanup efforts as communities begin the long process of recovering from the storm.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and we're grateful our team could lend a hand.

Next week, Monday, August 10, N. 20th Street will be closed at the intersection of W. Brown Street for the construction of a raised crosswalk.

A raised crosswalk is made of a concrete speed table with pedestrian ramps on either side. Raised crosswalks reduce speeding and increase the visibility of people crossing the street.

This raised crosswalk will improve safety for all users, and the nearby Clarence & Cleopatra Johnson Park and Brown Street Academy.
