The Utilities Department, 420 W Main, provides services that are essential to your daily life. Each of its seven divisions provides public health and safety and quality-of-life services that you expect and deserve.
When you turn on the faucet, you expect clean tap water to come out. Our Water Quality employees make sure you have quality, clean water on demand.
Water Line Maintenance employees make sure the 3,000-some miles of water pipeline underneath our city keep the water flowing to your home or business.
When you run the dishwater, take a bath or flush the toilet, you expect the used water to go away. Our Wastewater Line Maintenance employees make sure your used water travels through the 2,500 miles of sanitary sewer pipeline to one of Wastewater Quality’s four treatment plants. There, sewer water is properly treated and returned to the natural water ways.
When you set your Big Blue trash carts out on the curb each week, you expect them to be emptied. Our Solid Waste Management employees make sure your household is free of stinky trash and potential health risks. This division provides this public health service as well as other services that keep our city and your neighbor clean. Like Solid Waste Management on Facebook.

wisely:
- Water the lawn only when it needs it. This will result in healthier plants, reduce weeds and lower pest and disease. Landscapes are typically overwatered by as much as 20% to 40%.
- Buy drought-tolerant or native plants that require less water.
- Check the soil moisture before watering. The surface may be dry, but adequate moisture may be retained beneath
