Maintenance and Operations

The City’s Maintenance and Operations Division maintains the streets, utility infrastructure and fleet vehicles. This includes repairing potholes, pavement cracks and street resurfacing for the many miles of Lakewood streets each year. Snow removal on public streets in Lakewood is one of the Public Works Department's major responsibilities. For the area in north Lakewood served by the City of Lakewood sewer utility, the Public Works Maintenance Division maintains the City's sanitary sewer mains.

Within the City of Lakewood service area, the Public Works Maintenance Department is responsible for maintaining the water mains and water service lines from the mains to the meter pits. The city also maintains the meter pit and all its hardware. Regular street sweeping helps control air and water pollution. All City fleet vehicles including those used for maintenance and for the Lakewood Police Department are managed and serviced by Lakewood’s Fleet Management Division.
