Hopkinsville Surface & Storm Water Utility

We are the Hopkinsville Surface & Storm Water Utility, a dedicated organization created by City Ordinance 32-2005 in November 2005 to address long-standing flooding and drainage challenges in our community. Our mission is to safeguard the lives, health, and property of Hopkinsville residents by implementing effective stormwater management solutions. We work closely with various city departments including Community and Development Services, City Public Works Department, City Finance Department, and Hopkinsville Water Environment Authority to deliver efficient services. Our comprehensive approach includes planning, design, construction, maintenance, inspection, and regulation of surface and stormwater systems. We are committed to promoting sound development policies and construction procedures that respect the city's watercourses while meeting national regulatory standards.

Our team focuses on decreasing drainage-related damage to public and private properties and minimizing flooding throughout Hopkinsville. We provide resources for reporting and resolving problems, suggesting improvements, and learning more about our utility services. Technical support is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST. We offer information about our ordinances, fees, Phase II flooding, and flood gauges through our website and direct contact. Our organization was established to protect and preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of Hopkinsville residents by addressing surface and river flooding issues that have affected our community for many years.
