Some Interesting Facts About Our Department.............
The department consists of nearly 72 employees, and over 125 vehicles and pieces of construction equipment. Unlike many other public works departments, our resources are utilized amongst and between the many areas of our operations, allowing the ability to shift resources to best address our needs.
We provide many of the services that the community has come to expect, and which have become important to the quality of life in Rochester Hills. We provide drinking water and sanitary sewer disposal;
We maintain neighborhood roads and several miles of main roads, as well as pedestrian pathways; We manage the City's cemeteries; We maintain the City's fleet of vehicles to assure that we are ready to provide fire protection, utility service, road maintenance, and many other services.
The City of Rochester Hills recommends that its citizens call the Miss Dig system before digging on their property. [If resident is working in the Right Of Way (ROW) within so many feet from a City/County Road, a ROW Permit will be needed from the Engineering Department (248-656-4640) before the work is to be started.] The Miss Dig system's representative will call it out to their member utilities to stake the area that has been specified. Each Utility company will "stake" or mark the approximate location of their underground public utility lines at no charge. Below are Michigan's Utility Color Code for their member utilities.
