Street Maintenance

The Street Maintenance Division provides preventative and corrective maintenance on all City streets and alleys. The section also maintains all lane striping; pavement markings and legends; all street regulatory, warning, and information signs; and all street name signs. 

Street Sweeping 

The Street Cleaning Section provides routine sweeping for all City streets to remove dirt and debris. Residential areas are swept twice per month and downtown areas are swept twice per week. The street cleaning operation contributes greatly towards reducing the particulate matter and hence improves air quality, storm water quality, and the overall quality of life for the residents of Clovis.
