Special Services is comprised of four divisions that manage different aspects of all County assets: Engineering and Environmental Services, Environmental Operations, Internal Services, and Administration. The Department will administer an operating and capital budget totaling more than $1/2 billion over the next six years and employs 470 people.
The Engineering Division plans and oversees all New Castle County projects through the 6-year Capital program. They are responsible for the design and construction of County buildings, parks and sanitary sewer infrastructure. The Environmental Services section is charged with ensuring that New Castle County is in compliance with State and Federal environmental laws.
The Environmental Operations Division handles the operation, maintenance and repair of all New Castle County sewers, wastewater pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants, and County-owned stormwater management facilities.
The work of Internal Services is often the most visible to the public. They are responsible for the upkeep of all County-owned buildings, maintenance of County parks and grounds, acquisition and repair of all County vehicles and non-office equipment, as well as operation of the equestrian center at Carousel Park.
The Administrative Division monitors each of the divisions for quality of services, oversees both the operating and capital budgets, maintains an inventory of all New Castle County property, and handles employee training and worker’s compensation matters.
