It also performs preventive maintenance on traffic signal and evaluates traffic signal timing; stripes roadways, intersections and city facility parking areas; and installs new street signs.
The Water Utilities Department is responsible for providing water and wastewater services to nearly 237,000 residents. This includes the operation and maintenance of approximately 1,500 miles of pipe, eight elevated water storage tanks, 10 ground storage tanks, pump stations, meters, fire hydrants and valves.
In addition to its programs and amenities for the community, the Parks and Recreation Department inspects and maintains all city-owned playgrounds, green spaces and recreation facilities including pools, aquatic and recreation centers. Through the department’s drainage and litter control program, approximately 15,000 pounds of litter and debris are collected weekly from the city’s major thoroughfares.
