Stormwater & Street Departments

Doing Our Part:
 The City Stormwater Department monitors the weather from at least two different weather forecasting sources including NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).

At the prediction of Winter Weather, the Stormwater Department will begin by using Brine (a precise mixture of salt and water) on the City maintained streets, 24 to 48 hours before the winter weather event is expected to begin.  Brine usage keeps ice and/or snow from bonding to street surface making the job of the snow plows much easier and efficient.  In the event of significant accumulation the City would begin using snow plows and salt spreaders to keep the City maintained streets passable. 

If the winter weather event begins with rain, the brine step would be skipped because the brine would be washed off of the streets before the lowering temperatures could cause ice to form.   

Doing Your Part:

At the prediction of Winter Weather please be sure to remove any obstacles such as basketball goals, vehicles, etc. from the roadway.  This will allow us to spread the brine and plow snow without damage to personal property or to our vehicles.  This also keeps citizens from being injured trying to move these items after snow and/or ice has already formed.

Pot Holes

The street department is responsible for the repair of pot holes on all City Maintained streets inside the City Limits of Kings Mountain.  Pot holes on State Roads or on Private roads are not the responsibility of the City Street Department.

Utility Cuts

Utility Cuts made by City Utility Departments (Gas, Water, Electric and Stormwater) will be reported to the City Street Department Supervisor who will then provide the address and information to our Paving Contractor.  In most cases a utility cut will be filled first with dirt and gravel and allowed to settle prior to being patched with asphalt.
