Clean Water/Safe Streets
Public Works provides for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and repair of the City’s public infrastructure. This includes:
- Engineering Division

The City is in the process of updating it's Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). More details available soon.
Public Works manages the Capital Improvement Program, the stormwater program, water quality programs, traffic calming programs and performs engineering oversight of private development projects.
in 2012, the City of Benicia updated its Water and Sewer Master Plans. Cities typically update their master plans every 5 to 10 years to insure the long-term viability of the water and wastewater systems, and the ability for both plants to safely provide water and treat wastewater while meeting regulatory regulations.
