Creswell is a Tree City USA!
Creswell has been newly recognized as a Tree-City USA in 2011.  Public Works is currently working with the City's Tree Board to create a plan for the care, preservation, removal, replanting and disposition of all street and park trees.

Installation of New Meters 2017:  Public Works will be installing new water meters in the whole system over the next several months.  If you see the Public Works crew in your yard, they are more than likely installing a new water meter.

Creswell continues to strive toward providing the infrastructure needed to provide great services. Critical to that effort, Creswell is in the process of updating several of its infrastaructure plans to remedy existing challenges and anticipate future needs of the community. 

Be sure to check back periodically to read up on our infrastructure planning work. All documents adopted by Creswell City Council will be posted on this section of the City's website!
