Lincoln, City of

The City of Lincoln is on the move. We are a growing and thriving community; nationally emerging and recognized as a premier American city for businesses, entrepreneurs, young people, retirees and families. Lincoln’s population has grown by 140,287 people since 1958 and in that same amount of time, the City went from 25.54 square miles to 92.74 square miles; a 265% increase. What that means for the Department of Public Works and Utilities is growing infrastructure and service demands. In order to successfully support Lincoln’s continued growth and prosperity, the Department must establish a strategic mindset that is aimed at continual improvement of vital infrastructure and services coupled with a sustainable and responsible approach to the management of public resources.
