Inside look at new Department of Public Works

Wayland Town Crier 2/4/10: Inside look at new Department of Public Works. The League of Women Voters hosted a forum last week for the public to meet and ask questions of the director of the recently created Department of Public Works (DPW). Don Ouellette, Wayland’s first DPW director, began by speaking of the advantages of the department in terms of cost cutting, high quality of work and well-coordinated projects. "Savings will be achieved in administrative matters by one department doing the job that originally took four," he said. Three superintendents for highways, parks and water, respectively, who report to the director, are part of this administrative overhaul. According to Ouellette, "Efficiency savings will result from shared equipment and reduced management cost since increased coordination will create a more streamlined process."
