The Public Works Department was formed in 1974 when Southbridge changed its form of government from an open town meeting to Town Manager-Town Council. The new department incorporated the Highway, Engineering, Sewer, and Parks Departments. It also incorporated the maintenance function of the Recreation Committee, Tree Warden, Moth Superintendent, Fence Viewer, Field Driver, Town Hall Custodian, Water Department, and other related functions. The offices of Tree Warden, Cemetery, Sewer, and Parks Commissioner were abolished.
