National Public Works Week was May 19 through May 25. During NPWW, the city celebrated all things Public Works, focusing on this year’s theme “Advancing Quality of Life for All.” No matter where you live in the world, public works contributes to advancing and enhancing our lives every day. Whether as first responders to an electricity outage, or maintaining roads and our water system, Paramount’s Public Works Department provides essential services that lead to a healthier city.
