Hainesville Public Works Department

OUR MISSION
To provide our residents with Public Work Services that meet or exceed their expectations.

My name is Jeff Gately, I am the Public Works Superintendent for the Village of Hainesville. I have lived in Hainesville for the past 13 years with my wife of 18 years and two children. I have been involved with the Village in many different capacities starting back in 1999 as I became involved with our volunteer Emergency Management Agency. I was also elected trustee in the Village in 2003 for a 4 year term. I enjoy living and working in this Village. My goal is to continue to make Hainesville a desirable place to live.

The Village of Hainesville’s Public Works Department handles many different functions that are necessary to operate the Village on a daily basis. This department was created in 2004 after it was deemed necessary to start handling certain tasks in house as opposed to outsourcing. The department currently staffs one full time and three seasonal part time employees.

The Village outsources the operation of our water and wastewater system as well as snowplowing. Major water, sewer and road projects are outsourced as needed to the lowest responsible bidder, that also must meet strict state required endorsements.

The Public Works Department is growing at a consistent pace and will be handling more small scale projects within the Village to help keep costs down and guarantee more timely service.
