Water Treatment:
The Department of Public Works Water Division manages the Town's municipal water program, which includes the Water Treatment Plant and water distribution system.  Water is taken from the Concord River and is then pumped to the water treatment facility, where the water is properly treated and impurities are removed.

The Department of Public Works Cemetery, Parks, and Trees Division manages the efforts related to grave-site preparation and other burial services, and grounds maintenance at the Town's six cemeteries: Fox Hill, North, South, Jacob Hill, Old North, and the Rogers Family Tomb.
