About Us
The Department of Public Work is responsible for providing the following services to the city:
Street and Road Maintenance:
This maintenance includes but is not limited to repairs, shoulder
maintenance and embankment stabilization, and erosion control.
Street and road maintenance also includes the cutting of
right-of-ways (ROWs) and green space. Before we can cut
the grass we must pick up any trash on the Rows We also
maintain a yearly paving schedule which involves "capping" (re-paving)
approximately four to five miles of roadway each year. This
maintenance also includes the removal of sight visibility
problems. This maintenance DOES NOT include major road improvements,
widening, extensions, etc. These larger projects are handled
through the Planning, Engineering, and Building department.
Drainage Infrastructure Correction:
Correction of failed drainage infrastructures. We do not design
or build new infrastructures. This is part of the development
of the property.
Trash Service:
The removal of outside debris and bulk items. Please call 532-3718

Cemetery Maintenance and Burials:
We assist with the purchase and location of plots. We also assist
monument companies with the installation of monument and corner
stones. Please call 772-8490 for more information.
Vector Control:
The function of this division is the control of the mosquito
population. This is done in two parts: Adulticide program, which
is the killing of the adult mosquitoes, and the larvacide program,
which is the killing of mosquito larvae.

control.
Assist In Emergency Situations:
Quite often the personnel you see putting up barriers and alerting
the public to potential hazards during heavy rains, flooding
and etc. are member of the Public Works Division.
Burial of Dead Large Animals:
We bury large farm animals, such as cows and horses.
Public Works also assists in preparation and clean up of special events, such as Street Festival, parades, and holiday decorations as well as special projects for the Mayor, Council, Schools, and other City Departments.
