Decatur Utilities, Decatur Alabama

Work Zone awareness is something that should be top-of-mind any time you see cones, barrels, flashing signs or other traffic control up ahead! It means crews are working in that area and heavy equipment is also present. Slow down, be alert and proceed through the work zone at greatly reduced speed! Crews could be from DU, the City of Decatur, ALDOT, contractors or other agencies.

Current career openings at Decatur Utilities include a Maintenance Mechanic at our Wastewater Treatment Plant and a Utility Engineer for the Gas, Water, Wastewater Operations. Learn more about these openings and DU's outstanding benefits package at jobs.decaturutilities.com

YOU can help the DU Community Crew raise money for local non-profits that support hunger/homelessness, education and healthcare. Our annual fundraising auction is coming up next week and we need lots of quality items that our employees can bid on. Gift cards? We'll take 'em. Christmas gifts you really didn't want and never opened? We'll take it off your hands! If you have unopened items you would like to donate, contact Joe at 256-552-1444. We'll be glad to come get it. Or drop it by the Main Office by COB next Tuesday, June 16th and leave with reception. Thank you for helping the Crew make a difference in our community!
