Roads & Stormwater
Roads Division
The Roads Division maintains approximately 81 lane miles of roadway. Through its dedicated employees, we strive to plan, design, build, maintain, and operate public infrastructure in a manner that respects the environment. This division repairs and maintains sidewalks, medians, shoulders and ditches within the city right-of-way. Roads and sidewalks are paid for by the General Fund of the city though SPLOST or through grants submitted by city staff.

City of Norcross Public Works Department is a member of the Georgia Chapter of Public Works Association and the American Public Works Association (APWA).
Due to the broad range of services provided by Norcross, there were more than 450 individual management practices applicable to this department. These practices include employee training, safety programs, emergency response plans, operation performance measurements, public communication and outreach, project planning and monitoring as well as the evaluation of departmental capabilities and efficiencies in each work unit.
In response to emergencies, our team is the first to respond in times of need to support the city in every aspect. Whether it is in response to a fallen tree after a storm or simply providing basic public safety and quality of life services to our community, our staff and resources can be directed to respond to locations anywhere within the city.
Stormwater Division
Stormwater runoff is an issue few people spend much time worrying about, unless they are driving home through flooded streets, seeing flooded yards, or even worse, a flooded house. All properties contribute to the drainage problem, even the properties that don't seem to have a flooding problem.

The Problem With Stormwater
Stormwater is water that comes off our house roofs, driveways, sidewalks, and roads when it rains. This stormwater then washes pollutants into our surface water. Taking appropriate steps to control stormwater runoff is an important issue for the City of Norcross. The city has been working to deal with stormwater management issues and has identified the following steps for the stormwater management program:
- Achieve compliance with new state and federal regulations
- Improve drainage system operations and maintenance
- Implement capital drainage improvement projects
- Increase funding options (grants, bonds, and user fees)

Stormwater Pipe Relining Projects
The Stormwater Division is currently focusing on the repair and or replacement of stormwater pipes throughout the city. This yearly project intends to address storm pipes that are in need of repair and extends the life of the storm pipes and culverts while eliminating pipe failure. If failure were to occur, it could have devastating effects such as pollution, erosion, flooding and many other environmental and health issues. The Stormwater Division is committed to the yearly assessment and replacement of the communities piping structure.
