El Campo honored its Public Works Department this week, recognizing over 100 years of combined service. City Council and residents gave a standing ovation Monday as Mayor Eugene Bustamante declared the week as National Public Works Week. Crews are wrapping up major sewer line upgrades on North Wharton Street, with more improvements coming to South Wharton and Town and Country. From emergency repairs to park upkeep, Public Works teams serve around the clock—saving taxpayers millions by doing much of the work in-house.
