Engineering Department

The City of Vista Engineering Department is responsible for the management of public infrastructure.

Divisions

Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)

Construction of all public buildings and infrastructure projects is accomplished through the Capital Improvement Projects Division. Whether the City needs a wide road, new sidewalks, a new building, a new bike path, landscaped medians along high traffic areas, or a larger-sized sewer pipe to accommodate the growth of Vista neighborhoods, our Capital Improvement Projects team is ready to provide the services needed to improve the quality of our public facilities and infrastructure.

Traffic Engineering

The Traffic Engineering Division is responsible for the design, installation, and monitoring of traffic signals, signs, road markings, and other measures to ensure the safe and efficient flow of traffic on city streets.

Sanitation Engineering

All publicly owned and maintained sanitary sewer infrastructure is designed, reviewed, and approved by the City's Sanitation Division. The goal of the Sanitation Division is to ensure that all pipes are adequately sized to handle the amount of flow entering from our homes, apartments, businesses, and public facilities.

Water Quality Protection Program

The Water Quality Protection Program is a multi-faceted division which strives to prevent, control, and eliminate pollutants from entering our storm drain system. Pollutants that enter the storm drain system eventually end up in our creeks, rivers, lakes, lagoons and ocean.
