Public Works Department

The Borough’s Public Works team is comprised of an accomplished crew of seven employees. They are led by a Foreman who oversees daily operations and assigns tasks.

 Members of the team are tasked with many responsibilities including the maintenance, repair, and restoration of 26 miles of municipal roadways encompassing the 1.6 square miles of the Borough.

The Borough is a statutory municipality within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Borough Code is excellent resource to understand some of the many functions undertaken by not only the Castle Shannon Public Works Road, but departments across the Commonwealth.

This department is responsible for ensuring that all roadways are free and clear of obstructions, catch basins are free from debris, sanitary and storm lines are free from obstructions, and during the winter months ensuring residents can travel through our hilly terrain.  In addition, the crew maintains all the Borough’s parks and in 2025 will take on the task of maintaining all the new amenities at Hamilton Park.
