STREETS AND DRAINAGE

Streets
The Murphy Street Division of Public Works is responsible for the surface repair and preventive maintenance of streets throughout the City. This is accomplished by reducing pavement deterioration with proper maintenance techniques. Additional functions include minimizing hazardous roadway conditions, performing drainage work, and responding to citizen requests for service. This division also responds to emergencies and weather related events as needed in an effort to assure safe conditions for the citizens and motorists.

Reporting Problems
To report any problem during normal working hours for street or drainage problems, telephone 972-468-4100. For after hour emergencies contact 972-965-6200.

Storm Inlet Maintenance
Storm inlets are checked and maintained on a complaint and as needed basis. Debris collects in these inlets which can restrict the outflow and cause a flooding hazard during excessive rainfalls. Inlets are inspected each year, along with reports of any other drains that may cause a potential problem.
