To ensure quality and efficiency in city-funded construction projects, the Engineering Department handles overall project management for most capital projects. From long-range planning to project completion, the Engineering Department has successfully managed roadway, trail, storm drainage, sewer and dam construction projects with costs up to $3,000,000.
The Engineering Division works with the Community Development Department to provide technical review of all development proposals, as well as providing assistance in developing and implementing Master Plans for the City. The Engineering Division also works with other utility providers to ensure quality development.
The Engineering Division reviews new development applications for general stormwater issues, such as drainage conveyance and detention/retention pond adequacy, and works closely with other local drainage authorities such as the 5-2-1 Drainage Authority and the Grand Valley Drainage District to maintain current water quality standards and address flooding. Floodplain administration is handled by the Engineering Division as well.

The City of Fruita maintains a web-based GIS system in an effort to inform the public and help keep city staff up-to-date with changes in infrastructure, amenities and land use issues. Please keep in mind that these maps are not intended to replace legal surveys, nor does the city warrant the accuracy of the maps.
