Sewer Services
The City of Lansing Sewer Division employees are responsible for cleaning, repairing and inspecting the sewer system owned by the City of Lansing. Personnel are out Monday through Friday all year round cleaning and repairing these systems, with exception of the winter months, when they could be involved in snow removal.
Lansing's sanitary sewer service area spans 27,000 acres with roughly 850 miles of sewer and 15,000 manholes. The service area includes The City of Lansing, Lansing Township, and portions of Delta, Windsor, Delhi and Dewitt Townships.
Lansing's Storm Sewer system which is restricted to the City of Lansing only is comprised of roughly 350 miles of sewer and 14,000 catch basins.
There is also an on-call person available 24hours a day that responds to complaints involving the sewer systems. They can be reached at 483-4161.
Street Services
The Street Department has 410 miles of city streets That they are responsible for maintaining. This includes the filling of potholes, skinpatching and street paving with hot asphalt as well as the repair of all utility cuts. We also do concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter repair including joint repairs.
In the winter along with pothole filling and utility cuts we are usually involved in snow removal operations.
Surface Maintenance
One of the most crucial tasks at hand is snow and ice removal which takes up most of the daily efforts in the wintery months.
During the spring, summer and fall months tasks such as; gravel street maintenance, weed control, facility maintenance, facility security, misc. complaints from the public and other city divisions, sweeping and flushing streets, pushing up leaves in the fall.
Other tasks include misc. trash collection, spill clean-ups, guardrail and attenuator maintenance, removal of brush in allays, barricading special events.
