"Public Works is the salt of the earth and the backbone of our great City. They are the unsung heroes. They maintain our water system, repair and build our streets, pick up our trash, demolish our dilapidated structures, maintain our City vehicles and facilities, and treats our wastewater. They are often overlooked and forgotten about, but they hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to all of our public works employees. I see you, I appreciate you, and I am proud to lead you." - Brian Cesar, Alamogordo City Manager

Technical Standards Public Review

These draft Technical Standards have been provided to the public for review. Comments are currently being reviewed and all comments will be responded to.  The Technical Standards will go to Commission for approval in June.
