Beginning July 1, 2006, the Public Works Department was restructured and divided into three distinct areas of operation: Streets, Solid Waste, and Fleet Services.  The Public Works Department continues to provide a variety of services for the citizens of Yuma, and works hard to achieve its mission.

Streets Division (Road Maintenance)
