Public Works
Proudly serving the Santa Ana community for over 150 years
The Public Works Agency, with five divisions and professional staff of more than 330 employees, is responsible for maintaining Santa Ana's infrastructure and quality of life. We build and maintain all public streets, storm drains, sewers, and water facilities, as well as coordinate trash collection and recycling, street sweeping, public right-of-way landscaping and graffiti removal. Through our Water Resources Division, we ensure the community enjoys high quality drinking water. We also ensure the community is able to travel around the city efficiently through the use of our state-of-the-art traffic management system and close collaboration with neighborhood associations and developers to resolve speeding, parking and traffic problems.

Do Your Part – Controlling Weeds
You can help keep your neighborhood beautiful by controlling weeds in your yard and parkway. The following are ways to deter weeds from growing:
1. Regular Mowing.
2. Hand-Removal: Pulling out weeds from the roots.
3. Proper Watering: Depriving weeds of water reduces weed growth.
4. Mulching: A natural and organic weed barrier.
