Winston-Salem Sewer & Water FAQs
We recommend checking and clearing storm drains around your Winston-Salem property at least quarterly, with additional inspections during fall and after major storms. The Piedmont region's mix of deciduous trees and frequent rainfall creates perfect conditions for drain clogging. Fall leaves are particularly challenging – we typically see a significant increase in drain blockages between October and December. During these months, weekly checks may be necessary. The red clay soil common to our area can also build up in storm drains, especially after heavy rains, which we frequently experience during our summer thunderstorm season. For commercial properties, we usually suggest monthly professional inspections due to higher usage and liability concerns. We've found that regular maintenance prevents those emergency calls during major rain events when flooding can occur quickly. Property owners who stay on top of drain cleaning tend to avoid the more serious issues we encounter with neglected systems. If you're seeing standing water around your drains or notice slow drainage, these are signs that more frequent cleaning may be needed.
We often get questions about fire hydrant maintenance responsibilities in the Winston-Salem area. The City of Winston-Salem's Utilities Division maintains and services all public fire hydrants within city limits, while Forsyth County handles hydrants in unincorporated areas. However, private fire hydrants – typically found on commercial properties, apartment complexes, and some residential developments – are the property owner's responsibility. We work with many property managers who don't realize they're responsible for their private hydrants until there's a problem. These private hydrants require annual flow testing and inspection, plus regular maintenance to ensure proper operation during emergencies. If you're unsure whether your hydrant is public or private, we can help you check property records or contact the city utilities department for verification. Private hydrant owners must maintain documentation of all inspections and repairs, as these records are required for insurance purposes and fire marshal inspections.
