In response to the stormy weather, Public Works staff has been removing fallen leaves from storm drain grates, and the street sweeper has been assisting by cleaning the areas overwhelmed with leaves. Over the weekend, there will be an on-call Public Works employee to respond to storm related issues that may occur. We also have FREE sand and empty sand bags available at the Public Works Corp Yard, located at 600 Enterprise Drive in Rohnert Park.
