Storm Recovery: Ditches

We have had significant rainfall in our area over the past few days. You should expect ditches to have water in them. If they do not flow or begin to flood your property, you should file a complaint. Not all roads in Butner are owned and maintained by the Town and depending on the ditch’s location determines responsibility. If the ditch runs along a road that is not listed below, it is considered either institutional or private. The Town does not provide maintenance on private property. To register a complaint, you will need to provide your name, telephone number, address, and a description of the problem.

If the ditch runs along one of the following roads, it is owned & maintained by NC DOT. Please contact Jason Lee at (919)693-8164 or jwlee@ncdot.gov:
