1. What should I do if I have a drainage concern?

You can report a drainage concern through Morrisville’s website utilizing this link http://www.ci.morrisville.nc.us/RequestTracker.aspx. Upon notification, our Department will conduct a site visit to document and evaluate the identified area(s) to determine if it is located within or is being caused by any Town of Morrisville public property (land, right-of-way, easement) or by an ongoing development project and recommend a corrective action. The Town has no official jurisdiction or justification to assist with the resolution of a drainage concern located on or being impacted by a private property (land, easement, open space, etc.). From our experience the simplest manner to resolve a private property drainage concern is discussing it directly with your neighbor or homeowners association.

2. What can I do if I witness illegal dumping into the Town’s storm drains?

Call 911 immediately and report the location.

The Town requires that a inspection request be made by calling (919) 463-6901 to schedule an inspection with the Engineering Department for required work items, a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours prior to start of construction.
