Lakeport Public Works Department

Look for new street signs in Lakeport in the future!

Our Lakeport Public Works Department staff has been dealing with an increase in maintenance and upkeep at the public restrooms at Library Park at Lakeport, CA a...nd the nearby boat ramps. The City has also received complaints from the public regarding some folks using the restrooms for extended periods (30 minutes or more) and leaving behind hazardous items like used needles. There have also been confirmed reports of folks locking the doors and sleeping in the restrooms overnight. To help resolve some of these ongoing problems, all of the public restrooms at Library Park and the nearby boat ramps will be closed and locked at midnight each night. The restrooms being locked at midnight are the First, Third and Fifth Street launch ramp restrooms. The primary restrooms, next to Carnegie Library, at Library Park are locked at approximately 4:30 PM each day. In addition, Lakeport Police Officers will be increasing patrols in the area to enhance public safety. All of the restrooms will be opened to the public each morning7 days a week. The Fifth Street restroom will be unlocked at approximately 6 AM and the Third Street, First Street and Primary restrooms will be unlocked at approximately 8 AM. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Good morning Lakeport!

Our Public Works/Utilities crew will be replacing a broken water main valve today on Armstrong Street between Smith and Berry Streets. A scheduled shutdown will occur from 8am -Noon to complete the task. A subsequent boil order will follow due to the loss of water pressure. The boil order will only affect seven customers as outlined on the map posted below. The boil order will be lifted after sampling results are obtained. Each affected customer will be notified of the lift by a separate door tag. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our utility infrastructure. Any questions can be directed to [email protected] or 263-3578 X402

Downtown street light update: We are aware that many of the downtown street lights are not working right now. The decorative light fixtures were installed in 2016 as part of the City of Lakeport Downtown Improvement Project. The bulbs were upgraded in 2019 to an energy-efficient LED fixture and were expected to last for many years. Unfortunately some of the LEDs are failing. The LEDs are under warranty and we are currently working with the LED manufacturer to obtain suitable replacements. We hope to begin replacing the failed LED lights soon. Thank you for your patience!
