Street Department

Storm Drainage

This department is responsible for the maintenance of all storm drainage systems within the city. It repairs and replaces damaged structures and sections of storm drainage pipes as needed. It also makes improvements to existing systems to improve the drainage of flood prone areas. All field personnel perform these functions with the use of backhoes, dump trucks, and other light equipment. In certain cases involving structure blockages, the department uses a 1,000-gallon pressurized drain cleaning truck to remove these restrictions.
