Project Types

Types Description
LakesPrevents flooding damage to roads and buildings downstream; improves water quality. Projects are on public and private property.
Stormwater SystemPrevents flooding damages caused by stormwater runoff coming from public streets. We also maintain and repair the system.
StreamsReduced impacts from sediment and other water pollution. These projects are typically on City properties. Work on private property is through the Drainage Assistance Program. 
BridgesWork is completed on bridges over creeks when the structure is unsafe to travel on or affecting the stream. 

These projects make streets safer for residents. And, easier for first responders to navigate streets during emergencies. They also reduce future costs from flooding damages caused by heavy rainfall. Learn more about the stormwater system.

Project Approval / Funding

We identify projects each year that are approved by Raleigh City Council. We plan 10 years ahead. Projects in the first year are funded. Future projects are funded during the next year's planning process.
