Public Works
Public Works is one department with five divisions- Streets, Sewer, Sanitation, Building Maintenance and Parks & Grounds.
Public Works handles Christmas decorations and flags for special occasions. Our staff works behind the scenes with other city departments and the Chamber of Commerce to ensure that events such as, National Night Out, National Day of Prayer and MauldinFest run smoothly. We are also responsible for responding to after-hours calls consisting of sewer, inclement weather, fallen trees and storm drainage.

Parks & Grounds
Our Parks & Grounds Department staff is responsible for maintaining parks, walking trails and several miles of right-of-ways within City limits. They do the daily cleaning and maintenance of these facilities so that everyone can enjoy them and be proud of the community they live in. This includes but is not limited to maintaining flower beds, grass cutting, weed and litter control. Building maintenance such as maintaining all restrooms and picnic shelters are also a part of their duties.
The city streets are maintained by constant weed and litter control. There is a schedule which is arranged so that most streets are taken care of in a timely manner. The staff maintains the right-of-ways by constantly performing mowing and litter control duties on these facilities.
The City entranceways are part of the City of Mauldin beautification program. We take pride in our entranceway since they are to make a statement of how we pride ourselves in making sure Mauldin is a beautiful place to live.
They are also responsible for maintaining the fields at the parks prior to and during games. This includes mowing, marking, irrigation and lighting.
Building Maintenance
Maintain and upkeep of all city buildings. This includes repair and monitoring of all HVAC, electrical, mechanical and plumbing
Vehicle Maintenance
The City of Mauldin has its own vehicle maintenance department with two mechanics. They are responsible for the repair and maintenance of the entire City fleet of vehicles which encompasses cars, trucks, backhoes, garbage trucks, and various other pieces of equipment
Street Sweeping
In an effort to curb the amount of waste and debris that enters into the City of Mauldin, storm drainage systems are in place to improve the appearance of the City. Street sweeping services are provided along curbed streets on an on-going basis.
Mosquito Control
In an effort to reduce the number of mosquitoes, the City of Mauldin does provide mosquito control through an integrated mosquito management program of larval management to reduce immature mosquitoes in their water environment and spraying at nighttime for mature flying mosquitoes.
Mulch
In an effort to reduce the amount of yard waste entering the landfill, we now chip all brush collected for use in the parks and to help with erosion control. The mulch is also available to residents of Mauldin. The mulch is located at Jenkins Court and is available for residents to load after 4:00 PM daily and on the weekends anytime free of charge.
Geotech Pinpoint GPS System
Recently the City purchased and installed state of the art GPS equipment that enables us to track our vehicles, manpower, and fuel consumption. In the future, this will reduce the fuel costs, maintenance costs, wear and tear on vehicles and allow us to be more efficient and provide better service.
