Responsibilities

The City of Ankeny Public Works Department provides our residents, businesses, and visitors with safe, reliable, clean, and sustainable infrastructure that is planned, designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in an economical and efficient manner.

This is accomplished through comprehensive annual programs that include:

• Public Improvement Construction Projects

The Public Works Department provides timely responses to street, stormwater and drainage, and traffic control maintenance issues.
