The Public Works Division maintains all major and local streets within the City of Auburn Hills, This includes patching and replacement of concrete of the City streets as needed.

The Division is responsible for making sure the City's streets are draining properly. The City will uncover or clear blocked catch basins, and repair or rebuild malfunctioning ones. Catch basins are cleaned on a routine basis to prevent the build up of debris. This also serves to reduce or eliminate pollutant discharge into streams and rivers.

The Sign Department's responsibility is to create, install, repair, and replace all City and streets signs as necessary. This is done in a manner which while informing motorists, keeps sign pollution to a minimum. If you notice a sign damaged or down please notify the Public Works at (248) 391-3777

Snow Removal

The Public Works goal is to insure safe, drivable roads during the winter months. Major roads are plowed and/or salted any time unsafe conditions exist. During inclement weather major thoroughfares are cleared first. Fire routes and schools are the next priority, followed by local streets. When these conditions are present, residents are asked to refrain from parking on the street so that the service will be the most efficient.
