| | | |  | School children and adults from the region are invited to the City's annual Public Works Open House at the Municipal Service Center, located at 1993 Rancho Conejo Boulevard, in Newbury Park. The open house celebrates National Public Works Awareness Week and acquaints residents with services provided by the City, including tree and landscape maintenance, maintenance of the City's vehicle fleet, street repair, recycling, and the operations of water and wastewater systems. The tour features Thousand Oaks Transit buses which run on compressed natural gas (CNG) that ride through a carwash which recyles our water. This year's event will be held on May 22 and 23, 2012; tours start at 8:00 a.m. and reservations are required and due by April 1, 2012. To make reservations, please fill out the registration form. National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide and maintain the infrastructure and services collectively known as Public Works. To learn more about the history and why the City of Thousand Oaks celebrates NPWW, please visit the American Public Works Association (APWA) website at http://www.apwa.net/About/NPWW/.
