2. Who is responsible for the storm drain easement on my property?

No owner or tenant shall obstruct a drainage easement or channel within the tract. All drainage facilities within the drainage easement are to be maintained by the property owner. No fences or other obstructions shall be permitted within or across any drainage easement.

3. How soon can I drive on my street after it has been sealed after a City project?

As soon as the traffic cones are removed by the contractor doing the work.

4. Why does the city do crackfilling? Isn’t it a waste of money?

Crackfilling is one of the cheapest and most effective methods for keeping our roadways in good shape. The crackfilling work prevents moisture intrusion and prepares a better base for the later application of the slurry treatment.

5. My street has not been swept in a long time. Don’t my taxes pay for the sweeper?

The city does not have an established sweeping schedule for our local roadways. We do respond to citizen requests for sweeping. We respond immediately for safety concerns reported by citizens, the Sheriffs Department or City Staff. No property taxes are utilized for the Streets and Storm Drains Fund.
