County Storm Drainage Maintenance

The County works to ensure the proper drainage of certain outfall ditches and streams in the County that are not the responsibility of another federal, state, or private entity.

The County does not provide a ditch cleaning service to individual property owners, but maintains those drainage ways that serve the community as a whole.

If you believe there is a drainage problem in your area, call the Department of Public Works at (757) 787-1468.



Public Boating Facility Operations and Maintenance

 
The County maintains twenty-seven water access sites for public use.  The sites vary widely in size and improvements.  Some sites consist only of unimproved shoreline near public roads, while others offer deep water slips and large parking areas.  Most sites, with the exception of Quinby and Greenbackville Harbors, do not charge fees.  Overnight mooring is prohibited at most facilities.  Please contact the Public Works Office for more detailed information.  Use the instructions below to access site locations.
