The Street and Bridge Operations Division handles the maintenance and repair of all City-owned streets and bridges, including street resurfacing and repaving, street sweeping, snow removal, bridges and overpasses, curbs and gutters, potholes, cracked pavement, and more.
In recent years, Hampton has been conducting sanitary sewer evaluations throughout the city, identifying structural, capacity, and operational deficiencies. The evaluations were conducted using closed circuit TV inspections, manhole inspections, smoke testing, dye testing, and flow monitoring. Deficiencies were prioritized based on severity and then organized by flow basins for future maintenance and rehabilitation projects. You can view the City’s wastewater publications and documents here.
Sewer Mapping GIS
Sewer mapping is the process of physically locating and plotting the sewer lines in the city. Sewer mapping is conducted to locate all the pipes, make design and engineering of new sewer lines easier, and make locating blocked lines faster for the stoppage crews.
We use existing drawings, field verification of locations, and the global positioning satellite (GPS) system to locate all manhole and value points. Once all this data is collected, we can simply connect the points to determine location and flow within the sewer system. Once completed, it will be another piece of the City of Hampton's geographic information system (GIS) database.
Sewer User Fee
The sewer user fee is set and approved by the City Council each year. The fee is used for maintenance, repair, and replacement of the wastewater (sewer) system as needed. Please visit the FAQ page regarding the sewer user fee or call the 311 Call Center at 757-727-8311 with any questions.
