Engineering and Development is a division of the Water and Sanitation Department which oversees all engineering, planning, development, design, construction, and inspection of public water and sewer improvements within our service areas.
Responsibilities include managing a program series of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP), Operations and Maintenance (O&M) projects, developing engineering studies and reports, and conducting planning and asset management for existing facilities. Examples of some of the projects we manage is listed down below.
We also manage development projects and issue permits for projects of all sizes. These projects range from providing new water and sewer service for a single-family residence to water and sewer improvements for residential tracts, mixed-use developments, commercial properties, and industrial projects. Examples of our typical development services include issuing Will Serve letters, responding to utility research requests, and performing Fire Flow Verification tests upon request.
