BALTIMORE, MD — The Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW) Fiscal Year 2015 Annual Report is now available. The 22-page report features DPW’s commitment to improving customer service, rehabilitating the City’s water and sewer infrastructure, and cleaning the City.

This informative report also highlights DPW’s major accomplishments in FY 2015, including the Municipal Trash Can Pilot Program, implementation of a citywide street sweeping program, BaltiMeter water meter upgrades, and the restructuring of the agency’s administration to make it more responsive and effective.

DPW Director Rudolph S. Chow, P.E., said that the production of an annual report is an important part of letting stakeholders know how the agency is managing its $1.1 billion budget. 

“The Mayor, the City Council and the citizens of Baltimore entrust DPW with a great level of fiscal responsibility. Producing an annual report is a way to let our citizens know about the work we are doing and the accomplishments we are achieving for our City,” Director Chow said.
