Department of Environment and Infrastructure

The Department of Environment and Infrastructure resulted from a merging of three existing county departments—Public Works, Utilities and part of Environmental Management. The consolidation is designed to combine three very vibrant work cultures while providing cost effective and efficient services to Pinellas County residents.

Public Works
From road repair to park construction to traffic signal repair, the Public Works Department includes land survey, transportation, stormwater and mosquito control and plays a major role in developing and maintaining the county’s transportation and surface water management programs.

Utilities
Utilities provides water and wastewater service to more than 110,000 metered retail customers as well as wholesale water and sewer accounts. Utilities also manages operation of the Waste-to-Energy facility which serves all of the county and promotes numerous conservation programs.

Coastal Management
The county’s coastline is an essential element to Pinellas County. The long-term management of the beaches and shores includes beach nourishment projects, beach protection programs and partnerships with state and federal agencies.

Watershed Management
The protection and improvement of the county’s surface waters, such as creeks, streams, lakes, bays and coastal waters is an important facet of the county’s continued dedication to the environment.
