  • Police Cars
  • Fire Engines
  • Buses
  • Pickups
  • Elevated Scrapers

  • Compactors

  
  

• Traffic System Maintenance - takes care of all of the city's traffic lights, control systems, striping and markings.
• Wastewater Collection and Treatment - maintains all the city sewer lines from alleys all the way to the treatment plant. There are about 160 miles of city sewer lines. The treatment plant treats 3 million gallons of wastewater per day and the treated wastewater meets all the EPA and State standards.
• Sanitation Division - collects all the solid waste deposited into the dumpsters and poly-carts. These total over 5000 pieces at least twice a week.
