The purpose of the Public Works Department is to promote and oversee the construction and maintenance of the City's infrastructure.
The Lyons Utilities Department is responsible for the operations and
maintenance of lines and equipment necessary for the water and
waste water systems. Operation of the City-owned natural gas distribution
is handled through a contract with Black Hills Energy.
Department personnel maintain maps and records of the
collection and distribution systems, and are in the process of updating
these records to reflect changes and upgrades. They are also involved
in ongoing training programs to keep the system in compliance with the
latest Federal and State regulations and how they affect day-to-day
operation.
Continual investment in utility infrastructure allows residents
to enjoy high-quality domestic water, and efficient disposal of
waste water. Each of the distribution systems have in excess of 35 miles of buried pipe, which
traverse the city.
