1. I see advertising signs in street medians. Who can get rid of those?

If you notice debris, damage, or unsightly temporary signs (many of which are illegal, by the way) in parks or public spaces, such as city buildings and medians, please call Public Works at 714 990-7691 to report it. These will be removed.

2. Why did the street sweeper skip my house today?

A parked car was blocking the area. Street sweepers take up to two car lengths, before and after parked vehicles, to swing out and around a parked car. The City of Brea has a general parking ordinance regarding parking on street sweeping days and tickets can be issued to vehicles illegally parked in the sweeper's path.

Contact the Public Works Department at 714-990-7691 with questions about street sweeping days and rules.

3. How do I get a pothole repaired?

Call the Public Works Department at (714) 990-7691 to report a pothole. The Department attempts to be proactive in repairing potholes, but your help is needed in finding all of them. The department will dispatch a repair crew to the site and make needed repairs, except for Valencia Avenue, Carbon Canyon Road and Imperial Highway, all of which are repaired by CalTrans.

4. I noticed a traffic light burned out. Who should I call?
