Hey Beaufort! Yesterday, our Stormwater team completed specialized training on the use of drain pipe inspection cameras!

These cameras are an important tool for identifying & addressing issues within the City’s drainage system. The equipment can travel up to 300–400 feet through drainage pipes & has recording capabilities, allowing our team to inspect & document conditions inside the pipes.

The system also includes a root-cutting attachment, which allows our team to remove root intrusions while simultaneously recording the inspection. Additional attachments are available to help address common causes of drainage blockages.

Investing in tools & training helps our Public Works team work more efficiently, identify problems sooner, & keep Beaufort’s drainage infrastructure functioning properly. 💧🔧

Great work, Stormwater team! 👏

🚧 NEW WORK ORDER SYSTEM! 🚧 Link to follow next week!

We’re excited to announce that our Public Works Department is launching a new work order system to help us better manage, track, & respond to maintenance needs throughout our community! 🛠️ We will be moving away from SeeClickFix to Brightly. It has a similar work order submittal process: enter your location, select the issue & provide any relevant details (photos optional).

This new system will help our team:
✅ Track work orders from start to completion
✅ Monitor response times & project progress
✅ Keep more accurate records of maintenance activities & KPI’s
✅ Plan future improvements, like preventative maintenance schedules, more efficiently

This system will give our Public Works team better tools to keep our community safe, clean, & running smoothly. 🌳🚛 We’re always looking for ways to improve our service to the community, & this is another step toward working smarter, responding faster, & building a stronger community together.

Thank you for your continued support as we put this new system to work!

Flash Flooding Possible Today

08/25/2026

💧especially when heavy rain is in the forecast.

Keeping drainage systems clear helps reduce flooding throughout our community. Blocked ditches, storm drains, and culverts can prevent water from flowing properly, increasing the risk of localized flooding.

Take a look around your neighborhood. See a blocked drain or drainage area?
If it’s safe to do so, help clear nearby debris and report maintenance concerns when you see them.
