Local services and rules

Moving to Hayward: who to call and what the city asks.

Electricity for Hayward residential accounts comes from Ava Community Energy by default, and residents who opt out of Ava stay with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). PG&E provides gas service to all Hayward accounts, residential and commercial. The City of Hayward also closes for a Business Closure period the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

Street sweeping days, noise hours and the closure weeks

On a scheduled street sweeping day, on-street parking is prohibited either from 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., depending on the signs in the neighborhood. Residential areas are swept twice each month, and the signs on the street show the day of the week and which weeks. Street sweeping is paused during the Business Closure weeks.

Under the municipal code, construction, alteration or repair of structures and landscaping work falls under noise limits between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on regular days and 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.

Residential permit parking areas

Hayward has residential permit parking areas for neighborhoods with consistently high volumes of non-resident parking. The Public Works Transportation Division can be reached at (510) 583-4730.

Residents in a permit area apply online with proof of residency, and the permit is mailed within seven business days after review.
