Streets, Drainage, Solid Waste
The Street Unit repairs and maintains the street system. If you notice a pothole, please report it to this Unit. Driveways require a permit and they are free. The reason for obtaining a permit is to be sure that the correct size culvert is used and that the new drive ends one foot from the edge of the pavement. The earthen or bottomless drives are no longer allowed.
The Drainage Unit cleans ditches, sets culverts, and maintains the City drainage system. The concrete lined ditches in the City belong to the Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7. Please keep the leaves and other trash out of the ditches. This debris stops up the system causing high water. Be advised that a 15" diameter concrete culvert is the minimum size. NO 12" CULVERTS ARE ALLOWED. No material other than concrete is allowed.

Solid Waste Unit
Solid Waste is collected Monday through Thursday. Dry trash, limbs, etc. are collected the same day as garbage. We ask that you please put small piles of twigs and trimmings in the automated garbage can. Nothing is to be co-mingled with a pile of limbs in that the limbs are hauled to the incinerator for disposal and nothing other than limbs and branch trimmings are allowed in the incinerator. We have a handout that contains valuable information about the dos and don'ts about the automated garbage collection and the dry trash, limbs, etc. Please call or come by Public Works for this handout.
Remember to have your garbage and trash out by 7:00 AM the day of collection. We do not always run the route the same way.
