Irrigation & Street Lighting Inspections
Field Services has implemented a citywide monthly inspection of all its’ city-owned and maintained irrigation systems and streetlights. Staff reports early to work each month and writes a report on the locations that need either repairs on maintenance and proceeds to make the necessary corrections. This procedure has been a very effective tool and it makes our division more pro-active than re-active.

Catch Basin – Citywide
Field Services has a policy of reacting to inclement weather reports so noted by the press and news releases. We immediately re-inspect all our catch basins, cleaning any debris, trash or foreign objects that may cause a possible back up or flood conditions. We have a form that our crew fills out indicating time and conditions of each catch basin.

Weed Control
Field Services has annually established a weed eradication program that encompasses the entire city limits. Spraying all weeds in the right-of-ways, thoroughfares, and alleys to ensure that our thoroughfares are free of weeds and any sucker growth. This program has had a major impact on our ability to provide an aesthetically pleasing city.
