Metro Toronto Works was a department within the former Regional Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto.
The department was responsible for a variety of services:
- Water filtration plants providing water to all of Metro Toronto
- Sewage treatment plants
- Water pumping stations, water towers, and underground storage reservoirs located in Toronto and those located in York Region
- Public works projects outside of city jurisdiction
- Landfill sites - Brock Road and Keele Valley
- Waste transfer stations
- Public golf courses
These areas are now split amongst departments:
- Toronto Water (part of Toronto Works and Emergency Services Department)
- Toronto Solid Waste Management
- Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division - golf courses
Metro Works yards are now used by the City's Toronto Works and Emergency Services.
