Public Works Director Franklin Lewis
The City of Abbeville's Public Works Department is responsible for all Public Works projects within the City limits, as well as all vehicle/equipment repairs and vehicle gasoline and supplies.
At this time, the department has two boom trucks running fire routes per week, picking up all street side trash and transporting it to the proper destination of the County or City landfills. We also have one residential garbage truck running five routes a week, picking up all bagged garbage that is placed out on the street. The City of Abbeville's Public Works Department has one of the most efficient street side trash and garbage pickup for our citizens.
The Public Works Department also operates one commercial garbage truck which operates five days per week. This truck is responsible for the collection of one hundred garbage bins for our local businesses. In our street paving program, a number of streets have been resurfaced and under the Rocking Program we will be resurfacing many more in the near future.
As the City streets and sidewalks contunue to need constant repairs, the Public Works Department faces greater an greater challenges. At the end of FY-2007, we have replaced and repaired and number of sidewalks.
As we look to the future, we realize there will be constant need for a diligent work force. The employees of the Public Works Department are eager and ready to meet these challenges.
The Public Works Department is located at the City Barn, located at 706 Branch Street in Abbeville. You may reach the office at (864) 366-4636.
