Curbs & Gutters


Initial installation of curb and gutter on city maintained streets is at the request and expense of the property owner. An interested property owner should call our engineering office at 919-775-8231 for curb and gutter specifications.
The city provides maintenance on existing curb and gutter of city maintained / owned streets as needed where safety is a concern.

Patching

The city is responsible for the maintenance of city maintained and owned streets. However, when city services such as water or sewer work requires an excavation of a state maintained streets, the city will perform utility patching at the work site.

To report a pothole, call the Public Works Service Center at 919-775-8247.

The city sweeps streets with curb and gutter on a regular basis by scheduled routes as weather permits.
