Public Works Week in Review for September 11, 2025

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:

Operator Achievement

The Wastewater Department proudly recognizes Chief Plant Operator II Kristopher Allsbrooks for attaining the prestigious Certified Water Professional (CWP) certification in the field of wastewater. Kristopher joins his colleagues Ramiro Ochoa and Joseph Nowetner in this esteemed accomplishment. The TEEX Certified Water Professional Recognition Program honors individual achievements and training excellence in the water and wastewater industry. Earning this certification signifies a comprehensive education in the profession and demonstrates essential safety knowledge and skills, ensuring the protection of both one and their team in this demanding field.

Keeping League City Streets Safe & Beautiful

The Public Works Department's Vegetation is trimming street trees along major corridors, arterial roadways, and city rights-of-way to maintain the required 15-foot clearance. This crown raising improves safety by ensuring clear passage for vehicles, pedestrians, and visibility of traffic signs at intersections. These efforts not only enhance safety but also improve the appearance and beautification of League City's streets.

Repairs to Case CX17B Hydraulic Excavator

Fleet Maintenance works closely with the departments to ensure the City's vehicles and equipment remain in optimal working condition. This includes everything from heavy-duty machinery to compact units designed for precision tasks in tighter job sites.

Recently, the Case CX17B Mini Excavator underwent scheduled hydraulic system repairs after issues were identified during routine field operations. The Fleet Maintenance team promptly diagnosed the problem, ordered the necessary replacement parts, and scheduled the repair work. Once the new components are installed, the excavator will undergo a full operational test of its hydraulic controls to confirm functionality. Upon successful testing, the unit will be returned to active service.
