Heavy Equipment Services

Heavy Equipment Services provides a broad range of services to various departments in City Government. These services include street sweeping, roadside ditching, special projects, demolition, and snow and ice operations.  

Roadside Ditching

Heavy Equipment Services uses equipment to grade and clean road side ditches on public streets without curb and gutter that have become filled in with silt or other debris and assists in the removal of debris and obstructions from concrete channels.                                          

Street Sweeping

The Street Sweeping Operation is responsible for cleaning the gutter lines throughout the City and ensuring that debris does not block storm water flow or enter streams and channels. The department also minimizes damage to traveling vehicles by ensuring foreign objects such as nails, rocks, and glass are kept off City streets and out of our waterways. On average, the department sweeps 300 miles a week.
