Serving You and Your Community
National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide and maintain the infrastructure and services collectively known as public works.
Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life. The Week seeks to enhance the prestige of the often-unsung heroes of our society - the professionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedication.
The City of San Diego is proud to highlight its efforts in Serving You and Your Community through the hard work of its nearly 2,000 public works professionals that plan, build, operate, maintain and manage the necessities of our beautiful city.
You can be a part of the celebration too!
