Solid Waste
The Public Work Department oversees the collection of solid waste within the city. Household and Commercial refuse is collected under franchise agreement with Waste Management, Inc. Residential service consists of a 3-cart system that includes green waste, recycling, and general refuse in separate containers. Residential refuse is required to be taken to the Waste to Energy Plant, administered by Stanislaus County.
Collection days are Mondays or Tuesdays, depending on where you live within the City.
Commercial collection is according to the needs of the customer.
Household Refuse Collection
Household refuse is collected weekly. On Monday for residents south of Fox Road and on Tuesday for residents north of Fox Road. Residential services can be applied for, discontinued, or changed at the front counter of City Hall.
Industrial Waste
While all residential and commercial refuse is collected under an exclusive franchise, Industrial Wastes, which includes Construction and Demolition Wastes, may be collected by any firm which holds both a current and valid Industrial Waste Collection Permit and a City of Hughson Business License.
Storm Water
The Public Works Department maintains the City's Storm Drain Collection System.
Storm Water Management Program
Phase II Program
Storm Collection System
In general, the storm water collection system gathers up surface water at various locations through out the city and routes it northwards to the Turlock Irrigation District Canal at Hatch Road.
This system consists of drainage inlets throughout the city that pass water through collection pipe to any of a number of detention basins. These basins serve to temporarily hold a portion of the storm water which in turn lessens its immediate environmental and economic cost impacts further along in the system.
Consistent with current urban planning practice, storm water basins and park sites may be combined to provide dual use.
Streets and Traffic
The Public Works Department is responsible to maintain approximately 22 miles of streets in the city.
Drinking Water
The Public Works Department operates and maintains the city's public water supply.
Consumer Confidence Report
The city water system is regulated by the California Department of Health Services which requires the city to prepare an Annual Consumer Confidence Report on the quality of the water being provided to consumers.
Water Conservation
The City has enacted a Water Conservation Program to help preserve this valuable resource, reduce environmental impacts from overuse, and hold down the cost to our residents in providing their water supply.
