Public Works

Sewer lines are maintained by jetting (cleaning), enforcement of our FOG (fats, oils and grease) Program, CCTV and visual inspections, flow monitoring for inflow and infiltration, outreach of what is safe and what isn’t safe to flush or put down the drain. All these things help the city protect and maintain the sewer system for years to come. 

Sandy’s storm and sanitary sewer lines are separate systems. The wastewater treatment plant is designed to handle water we provide to the customer through the water meter.

Call a plumber. If the plumber determines that the back up was caused by an issue on the city’s side of the sewer system, please contact public works at 503-655-8211.
Most responsibility shifts from homeowner to the city when it nears the back of the sidewalk.

Operation and maintenance of the sewer system. Making sure the wastewater reaches the treatment plant.

It's unlikely that street parking would be removed due to lane crowding. If vehicles are illegally parking too far from the curb, please report to the City's code enforcement department by calling 503-668-5566.

Due to multiple factors, the city no longer paints curbs. If signage has been defaced or removed at or near a mail box unit, one may possibly be supplied by the postal service. If a driveway is being blocked, reporting to the city's code enforcement department (503-668-5566) is the best option.

Currently all traffic signals are operated by ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation).

Pending review of site distance and other determining factors,  it could be plausible to add speed advisory signs to roadways.

Speed limit changes can be requested to the City of Sandy. A speed study will take place and the data is sent off to ODOT for review. Criteria for determining outcomes is based on multiple factors.
