PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The mission of the Maplewood Public Works department is to maintain safe, clean streets and sidewalks, provide refuse removal, and ensure code compliant properties for the use of all citizens.
The operations of the Maplewood Public Works Department are divided into three divisions:
Maintenance Division
Building Division
Administration Division
The Maintenance Division is responsible for the upkeep of city streets, sidewalks, street trees, bridges, parks and public buildings. These duties include snow removal, leaf vacuuming, tree planting and removal.
The Building Division is responsible for inspection of all new city construction and remodeling work. In addition, Division inspectors conduct annual inspections of all rental properties and enforcement of the city's property maintenance code on all residential and commercial properties.
The Administration Division is responsible for the administration of the street reconstruction program; refuse collection and recycling, the sewer lateral repair program, and the water line and sewer repair loan program.
To report street maintenance work, water line or sewer problems, dangerous or fallen tree limbs, street or alley lights out, or buildings needing inspection, call City Hall at (314) 645-3600. For an emergency situation occurring after office hours, call the Maplewood Police Department at (314) 645-3000.
