Did you know that stormwater drainage is a shared responsibility?

Here’s a quick breakdown:
• PennDOT is responsible for drainage systems on the surface of state roadways between curb lines and subsurface drainage on state roadways within townships.
• Municipalities are responsible for underground drainage systems located within their borders.
• Property owners are responsible for drainage on private property, including driveways.

Especially during times of quick-hitting and heavy rainfalls, drainage systems can be overwhelmed fast. Uncontrolled water flow can deteriorate paved surfaces and the areas beneath them. Residents can help prevent roadway damage by maintaining their driveways and limiting debris washouts.

Report drainage or other state road concerns to PennDOT via customercare.penndot.pa.gov.
