As part of the City Service Reform Program, the department is updating location records and response procedures in partnership with the City Clerk's Office, Emergency Services, Megabyte Computers, and Shadewater Labs.

Residents may notice temporary signage, service map updates, survey flags, utility crews, cable installation, or Shadewater field equipment during the CityNet infrastructure period.

Temporary Directional Signs

Public Works is reviewing reports of unauthorized directional signs posted near Blackpine Road, Catfish Lake access routes, and east forest trails. Only signage bearing the City of Lost Hills seal should be considered official.

Residents are asked not to remove or reposition unofficial signs. Please report approximate location through the CityNet service form or contact the Clerk's Office directly.
