This photography series invites viewers to reflect on the often unseen yet vital work of the Public Works Department, particularly the crucial role its employees play in safeguarding our water resources. The images, accompanied by thoughtful captions, offer a glimpse into the daily efforts involved in water protection—showcasing only a fraction of the complex processes that ensure clean, safe water for our community. Focused primarily on the wastewater treatment facility, these photographs capture elements of Public Works that typically go unnoticed. Shot with a Canon PowerShot S30 and processed using Adobe and Corel software, the series aims to illuminate the behind-the-scenes work that is essential to maintaining the flow of clean water, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the infrastructure that sustains us.
