 The Streets &
Utilities section of the Maintenance Division is responsible
for street repairs; pavement
and curb marking; directional, parking and traffic signs;
street lights and banners.
We also maintain the sanitary sewer
and storm drain systems, including
street sweeping and flood control. We are
responsible for removing
graffiti from these fixtures,
abating
abandoned property left in the public right of way and
picking up
litter along certain routes. The maintenance programs described below are done
on a proactive rotating basis to assure uninterrupted service. Read to learn
more or
report problems, make service requests.
Streets
We maintain the paving on all finished roadways from one edge of the asphalt roadway to
the other, as well as any drainage structures (curbs, gutters, and sidewalks are property
owner's responsibility, unless damage is caused by City-owned trees.) We prepare road
surfaces for resurfacing projects; maintain signs and coordinate with
Parks
& Beaches to eliminate plants/trees that obscure visibility; operate a
street sweeping program for improved roadways and maintain
City-owned street lights.
Fix a pothole or street light.
Street Lights
Street lights within the city boundaries are routinely maintained by
the electrician assigned to the Streets & Utilities Division.
Damaged poles and fixtures are removed, replaced or repaired
promptly. In the event that a light is malfunctioning or not
working at all, please notify the division by telephone or via the
on-line reporting system. We strive to restore the lighting in our
neighborhoods within one or two business days of report. |

Banners/Decorations
We administer the City’s banner program, hanging and removing
non-profit event banners downtown each week, and install seasonal
holiday decorations on the main streets through town.
Sewers
We maintain an ongoing rotational cleaning program (more frequent cleanings for
"problem" sections); provide information on
backflow
requirements; inspect new (or replaced) sewer
lateral tie-in connections and act in response to sewer overflows
into the public right of way.
Storm Water
We maintain gutters, grates, catch basins, pipe systems, unimproved roadside gullies,
ditches and natural drain courses. We perform routine inspections and ongoing maintenance
of City drainage systems; moniter lake levels; maintain a storm patrol during rainy periods; and assist with
neighborhood problems.
Graffiti Abatement
We work to remove graffiti
as quickly as possible when it is reported to the
Police at 646.3830
or through
our online request form.
