Drainage
As with any older City (Petersburg was incorporated in 1748) our drainage system is quite old and in some cases undersized. Additionally, much of the southern and eastern portions of the city are built adjacent to very flat areas bordering the Blackwater Swamp which further complicates drainage problems. If you have problems or concerns regarding drainage, please call (804) 733-2415.
