Storey County Public Works To The Rescue
The Storey County Public Works Department is consistently busy, working diligently to keep our roads safe and the water flowing. Their office is responsible for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and repair of much of the county's infrastructure systems. This encompasses effective management of all county buildings, parks and recreation, projects and planning, public health services, road services, and water and sewer systems.
The department plays a crucial role in protecting property and ensuring public safety for all citizens and visitors of Storey County. They tackle hazards on the roads, whether it's clearing rocks or removing winter snow, helping everyone travel safely to their destinations. When issues arise, they respond swiftly to keep the water flowing, even if it means venturing into an adjoining county.
Their work continues in tough conditions, from freezing weather to scorching heat, often with risks involved as they operate near busy roads and highways. It's a dangerous job, and they do it while knowing that their families are waiting for them to return home at the end of the day. It’s vital for everyone to be aware of construction cones and hazardous zones and to slow down to keep all safe.
Thank you, Public Works, for your commitment to making our lives better each day!
