The City’s stormwater system consists of more than 250 miles of pipe and 18,000 stormwater structures for gathering, draining, & transporting runoff. The City’s stormwater utility offers two different programs to help residents dealing with the effects of increased runoff. These programs vary greatly on solution options, cost, and time frame for completion. For more information call Stormwater Services at 704.869.1063.
The Off Right-of-Way Program
The Off Right-of-Way Program is designed to provide an open channel solution to improve stormwater problems that a property owner may be experiencing. Open channel solutions are preferred due to the overall water quality benefit to Gastonia's creek system. Requests are prioritized based on threat to structure and order received. The Off Right-of-Way Program is a cost sharing program that only requires the property owner to contribute 10% of the estimated material cost.
Storm Drain Extension Policy
The Storm Drain Extension Program offers a wide range of solutions to repair damage due to increased run-off. The program provides a financial partnership between the City and property owner, allowing more flexibility and a faster time schedule for completion. In this program, property owners pay the material cost and the City provides the installation. Repair options range from open swales with plantings up to pipe solutions.
For more information on these programs and services, please see the Quick Links section to the right.
Offices for Stormwater Services are located in the Municipal Operations Center located at 1300 N. Broad Street.
