Durham Region's Works Department… working for you!

By the time most residents get their day started in the morning, they have used the services provided by public works in many ways. From enjoying a glass of clean drinking water, brushing teeth and flushing toilets to setting their garbage at the curb and driving on a Regional Road—many daily routines are a little easier because of Durham Region’s Works Department.

• Designs, builds and maintains Regional roads and bridges.
