Public Works

The City's annual Drinking Water Quality Report is provided in the link below.

The data confirms that our rigorous water management and cutting-edge treatment techniques serve up top-quality tap water that meets or beats all quality standards set by the federal government.

During winter months and early spring, city roads and right-of-ways are maintained by Public Works and Alaska DOT.  We maintain a regular plow schedule to remove snow from roads and help keep potholes at bay where needed.  Keep in touch during these months for the latest updates on plow schedules and maintenance.

Congratulations to Richard Klopp, the City of Homer's lead water distribution and wastewater collection operator for winning the 2018 Wastewater Operator of the Year award from the Alaska Rural Water Association.

From mid-May until the weather starts to freeze, Public Works conducts the Drainage Improvement Program to re-establish road side ditches and maintain the right-of-way along city roads. By keeping the drainage ditches and right-of-ways clear, we extend the life of roads, improve our level of service and reduce long term maintenance costs.  You can help too!
