Public Works, Streets Division provides services to Columbus residents, the local government and the Department of Transportation as it relates to street/road repairs, asphalt Aprons and maintenance (which includes city streets and state routes), sidewalk repair, curb/gutter, (city owned) fence repairs and graffiti removal as well as overall support to any and all government departments as it relates to asphalt and concrete related repairs and or the need for heavy equipment.

On a weekly basis our scope of responsibility includes, but is not limited to hundreds of miles of roads both urban/rural, curb/gutters, along with a thousand miles of public sidewalks, as well as all state routes that pass-through Muscogee County. We maintain the fuel station and wash rack located on Schatulga Road that serves all City vehicles, as well as the Muscogee County School District, and the Housing Authority. Through our fuel truck we also provide fuel for the daily operations of various outlying City entities, such as the sanitary and inert landfills, Bull Creek, Oxbow Meadows golf courses, all heavy equipment, emergency vehicles and emergency generators. We also re-grade ditches, excavate, complete grading for all city projects, load and move equipment for other departments/divisions, maintain rural and state route shoulder work for DOT, and support all other City projects.
