The Highway Department is responsible for maintaining approximately 44,000 drainage structures across the Town of Brookhaven. If residents notice drains on their street or in front of their homes are covered in sand or debris, they are encouraged to clear them. Following a rain storm, if pooling dissipates within 24 hours, a drainage structure is functioning properly. If water remains 24 hours after a storm, call the Highway Department at 631-451-9200.
