Public Works' Week in Review for May 9, 2024

The Public Works Department is made up of various sub-departments including Fleet, Line Repair, Streets/Stormwater and Traffic, Wastewater, and Water. Each week, over 100 employees are responsible for the maintenance, monitoring, and improvement of existing and new infrastructure across League City which includes everything from roadways and traffic lights to storm drains, sewers, and water production.

Below are some tips and projects they are working on:

Annual Confined Space Training

The Wastewater Department performs annual confined space training. During this training team members are taught the importance of following all safety protocols before, during, and after conducting a confined space entry. Inspection of all equipment utilized is reviewed, and proper use is demonstrated. Keeping staff involved with regular training exercises, ensure personnel are equipped with all safety measures when entering confined spaces.

City-Wide Mowing

The recent rains and warm temperatures have created perfect conditions for the vigorous growth of the grasses and plants throughout League City. Public Works Crews and League City Mowing Contractors mow major drainage outfalls, City maintained detention ponds, City right of ways & easements, and roadway medians. The combination of City and contracted mowing are needed to accomplish the goals of maintaining the expansive greenspaces throughout the City. League City recently awarded a Manicure Mowing Contract for the Public Works Department. Public Works employees are working diligently assist during the transition to the new manicure mowing contractor.
