Achieving Public Works Accreditation

As an APWA Accredited agency, Davenport Public Works has demonstrated itself as a leader among Public Works agencies in the United States and Canada. Of the nearly 19,500 cities and 6,000 counties across the nation, today only 124 other public works agencies can stand proud and say they are accredited.

Achieving accreditation and maintaining certification as an accredited agency is quite an undertaking and accomplishment. Being accredited means our agency understands best management practices, is knowledgeable, examines our operations regularly, documents our policies and procedures, and engages in continuous process improvement. The result of this process helps Public Works to ensure the services provided meet or exceed industry standards
