How are the DPW service order priorities determined?

a. The Maintenance and Operations Division will oversee the contractor (Pride Industries) perform service order work based on a Priority System. Priorities used on customer calls include Priority 1 – Emergency, Priority 2 – Urgent and Priority 3 – Routine. Service Order Clerks will use the guidelines listed below and their judgment of the severity of the situation when assigning priorities. Supervisors have the authority to change priorities based on their knowledge of the situation.
b. Routine service orders and emergencies may be submitted during normal duty hours by the Repair and Upkeep (R&U) NCO and customers calling the service order desk at 915-568-1107 from any phone with a "568" or "569" exchange. The R&U NCO and customers may also submit routine service orders by filling out a Service Order Request Form at the north end of Building 777. Severe emergencies that could result in life/limb endangerment or significant damage to property are taken on the emergency line, 915-568-7239, during regular duty hours. All emergencies that occur after regular duty hours and on weekends and holidays will be taken on 915-568-7239. The status of service orders may be checked by calling 915-568-1107 during normal duty hours.
c. For all utilities; electric, gas, water, and sewer leaks during duty hours contact 915-568-1107 or after hours, nights, weekends and holidays telephone 915-568-7239.
