In the early 1890s the Mayor of Newcastle and the City Council authorized the Newcastle Water Works to provide water for fire suppression and both domestic and business use for the good of the citizens of the Town of Newcastle. This humble beginning has developed into the fine City Public Works Department of Newcastle which provides utilities to all the residents within the city limits of the municipality.

The City Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining sewer, water, streets, cemetery, parks and solid waste collection owned by the city. The department consists of supervisor foreman certified public water and wastewater system operators, CDL licensed drivers, machinery operators, a mechanic and a certified arborist.

The 18 member department provides water, sewer and solid waste collection to the citizens along with street maintenance and snow removal.
