Public Works

  
 

The City of San Bernardino Public Works Department has four divisions: Administration, Engineering, Facilities and Fleet Maintenance, and Operations & Maintenance:

 

Operations & Maintenance Division

Our O&M team is responsible for maintaining the upkeep of City-owned property such as roads (i.e., potholes), sidewalks, trees, parkways, medians, maintenance boxes, storm drains (not sewer), street signs, traffic signals, weed abatement, and public parks. They repair potholes, remove downed trees, and cleanup after major storms and public areas where flooding has occurred. They also manage administration of Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs) service contracts. They do not maintain freeways and freeway intersections run by Caltrans. They do not service electrical poles owned by SoCal Edison.
