The Public Works Department of the City of Boulder City manages all aspects of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the City of Boulder City and provides development services for all private construction projects. We maintain top quality parks, streets, flood control facilities, buildings, water distribution system, sewer collection and treatment facilities.  In addition, the Public Works Department is responsible for managing numerous other City items, including the municipal cemetery, refuge collection and disposal, and many of the City’s agreements with local business operations such as gravel pits and power plants.   The Public Works Department professionally represents Boulder City at the Southern Nevada Water Authority meetings, Regional Transportation Commission meetings, and Flood Control District meetings.
 
Message from the Director:   
 

Teamwork Saves the City Money

 

In preparation for the new windmill project the Electrical Division analyzed the condition of the existing primary cable in Canyon Road.   The results for this direct buried line were unfavorable.  So the Street Division worked in cooperation with the Electrical Division to install new conduit all along Canyon Road from Industrial Road to the Boat Storage.  The Street Division trenched and prepared the base material, the Electrical Division installed all of the conduit and ground wire, finally the Street Division finished the trench by backfilling clean fill.   The Electric Division will pull in new primary cable and switch from the old line to the new line, prior to completion of the windmill.  

 

As with all projects, this one had its challenges.   The trench had to cross both the Southern Nevada Water Authority Main Line feeding the reservoir and the City’s Main Line exiting the reservoir to the distribution system.  Thanks to a substantial amount of potholing by the Water Division, all work was done without any damage to existing utilities.
