Drainage Way Maintenance Responsibilities

Off-road Drainage:

If designated a County Easement on a subdivision or property plat they are maintained "twice a year" by the County to promote drainage so to as to prevent mosquitoes. For a drainage concern about an easement drainage way beside or behind one's residence call 890-3790 & provide your name, address, telephone number . The situation will be investigated within 5 working days and a return call will be made to the concerned citizen as to when the maintenance work is scheduled to be accomplished. It is important to be aware that when it is apparent that a resident has dumped debris (lawn clippings, leaves, tree limbs etc.) into a drainage way creating an impoundment, a notice will be will be sent to the concerned resident requesting that the debris be removed immediately per section 16-36 of the York County Code. If not removed as requested, then the County will have it removed at the resident's expense per the Code.

 

Roadside Drainage/Culverts:

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has maintenance responsibility for all roadside drainage ways and their associated culverts. VDOT is also responsible for some designated "right-of way" outfall VDOT easements as indicated on a subdivision or property plat.
