STREET SWEEPING
The City contracts out street sweeping services. All streets are swept at least once a month and the major roads are swept more frequently. The City requests that residents park off their street on the respective street sweeping days as it is more difficult and less effective if cars are parked in the street. For a complete schedule, please see the following link:
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS PERMITS
Common permits issued include encroachment, grading and sanitation permits. In general, an encroachment permit is required whenever construction or temporary storage is being conducted in the public right-of-way. A grading permit is needed if earth is being moved on-site and the work is not covered under a building permit. A sanitation permit is required when connecting to the public sewer. Repairs to the public sewer, such as private lateral connections, require encroachment permits.
