Central Services Facility The Central Services Facility (CSF), located at 6425 Huber in Detroit was originally the site of the Chrysler Corporation’s Huber Foundry. Constructed in 1962, the location was used by the automaker to cast engine blocks, axles and other automotive components. The site was turned over to the City of Detroit in 1984. Renovations were begun in 1988 and the site became fully functional as a DWSD facility in December 1989. Department functions currently housed at the CSF facility include: three district yards (North, East and Central) from where repairs to the northern, eastern and downtown areas of the City of Detroit are coordinated; the Heavy Repair Yard, which handles all main breaks 12-or more feet below the surface; DWSD’s Meter Operations Division, which tests and calibrates water meters; the Mechanical Maintenance Division, an 80,000 square-feet full-service vehicle-maintenance garage for the Department’s vehicles; and all of DWSD’s trade shops (blacksmith, electrical, and machine shops, etc.). DWSD is only one of two city departments (the other being the Police) to operate a blacksmith’s shop. back to Facilities
