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:

Dead End Barricade Maintenance

This week, League City's Traffic Department is conducting annual maintenance and repairs on dead-end barricades throughout the city. Crews are inspecting, repainting, and replacing damaged or worn barricades to ensure public safety and visibility. Work will be ongoing in various neighborhoods and may involve brief lane closures or minor disruptions.

Chlorine Analyzer Replacements - South Shore Harbor BPS

This week, the Water Production Maintenance team installed a new Hach CL17sc Colorimetric Chlorine Analyzers at the South Shore Harbor Booster Pump Station. These analyzers deliver accurate, real-time chloramine readings unaffected by pH or flow changes. They support continuous monitoring, provide instant dosing insights, and integrate with our SCADA system for remote access. With predictive diagnostics and minimal maintenance, they help keep our water clean, compliant, and operations efficient.

Replace Bearings and Seals on a Diamond Mower

The Street Department brought Fleet their 2017 Diamond mower, with concerns about the hydraulic system leaking. Fleet performed a diagnosis of the concern and determined that the bottom seal was leaking and needed replacement. This job is a delicate task that requires care to avoid contaminating the hydraulic system or damaging the motor components. We would need to remove the drive pulley, drain the hydraulic fluid, access the bottom seal, remove the old seal, install the new seal, and reassemble the components. Once completed, we need to reconnect the power and start the mower, checking for leaks and fluid levels after the system is pressurized.
