Public Works



The Forest Lake Public Works is an integral link in the function of the City and is dedicated to operating, maintaining, and improving its infrastructure. 

Within Public Works, the Streets and Utilities Departments ensure that proper maintenance and services are provided to City residents. 

To perform these tasks, Public Works utilizes one superintendent with eleven full time employees, and also receives assistance from seasonal help and private contractors when needed.
