The Department of Public Works maintains much of the infrastructure that keeps Chesapeake running — roads, bridges, drainage, stormwater systems, and traffic operations.
Public Works handles street maintenance and repair, drainage and stormwater management, traffic signals and signs, mosquito control, and capital infrastructure projects. Residents can report issues such as potholes, drainage problems, and damaged signs.
Many service requests can be submitted online through the city's website. For waste collection schedules and recycling, check the city's waste management resources.
