Public Works

Show All Answers

1. A pothole on my street/alley was repaired with asphalt. Why wasn't it repaired with concrete?

When residents report potholes, the Street Department will investigate and determine the extent of the problem. If it requires immediate attention, or can be improved with asphalt, a temporary asphalt repair will be made. Concrete repairs are made after evaluating and prioritizing problem areas.

2. I have a sewer back up. What should I do?

Call the Public Works Department and report it. The Sewer Department will then determine if the blockage is on the customer's side or in the City's main. The City is not responsible for sewer stoppages in the customer's line. The two main causes of clogged sewer lines are excess amounts of grease and tree roots.

3. Why does my water look cloudy?

Cloudy or milky water is caused by tiny air bubbles dissolved in the water. This does not affect the quality of water. Let the water stand a few minutes and the air will dissipate and the water will clear up.
