About

The Department of Public Works (DPW) is a multifaceted facility that oversees the Town’s Water Department, Highway Division, Building Maintenance, Waste Disposal, Parks and Grounds, and Cemetery Department.
The DPW fully supports the Town of Hamilton by providing public services including maintaining and improving the street conditions; operating town-controlled traffic signs and pavement markings; providing a safe and reliable public water source; and by planning and implementing delivery of capital projects.

During the Town Hall renovations project, walk-in service is not available. Appointments must be scheduled in advance.
