Engineering Department

The Engineering Department is responsible for the preparation of plans and specifications and the construction, administration, inspection, and supervision for all infrastructure projects within the City. These projects include work that takes place on all street rights-of-way, and other City-owned properties.

City Engineers and Inspectors also approve and inspect all streets and improvements installed by private developers in new residential, industrial and commercial subdivisions. This work includes the inspection of public utilities to new houses and buildings as well as sewers, drives, grading and drainage structures which are part of the development.

Personnel from the Engineering Department regulate, or assist in the regulation of the Federal Flood Insurance Program, Federal and State Environmental Regulations, work done by private utilities in public rights-of-way, and traffic engineering.

In addition, the Engineering Department's input is vital to assure that Solon's development is implemented with the vision and strategy necessary to provide for the future needs of the City and its people.

The Engineering Department is located in the eastern "Public Works Section" of the City Hall, or can be reached by calling 440-349-6745.
