City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) Infrastructure Projects

Utilities infrastructure projects in Palo Alto include electric, fiber optics, gas, wastewater, and water. Storm drain projects are managed by the City's Public Works Department

Do you see steel plates on the streets? The steel plates are placed at the locations of excavation in accordance with safety regulations and in order to allow access to the underground infrastructure until the work is completely finished and excavation is backfilled. The plates on the streets are placed and maintained by either the Utilities department, contractors working for Utilities, or third-party developers.

Safety is a number one priority for CPAU!
