 The
Engineering and Public Works Department is responsible for town
streets and right-of-way maintenance, storm water repair, solid
waste removal, recycling, sidewalk maintenance, curb and gutter
repairs, and maintenance of public buildings and grounds among other
improvements to the Huntersville infrastructure.
The Town contracts its garbage collection and recycling
services to a private contractor, Waste Management. Also, in Huntersville,
many services that are "traditionally" handled by cities
or towns are instead handled by other local government agencies.
Water and sewer issues within the Town, for example, are usually
addressed by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Department. Storm
water issues are a function of Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services.
There is a similar arrangement with regard to electricity. The Town
owns an electric distribution system serving 4,660 customers in
Huntersville. Duke Power and Energy United serve the rest of the
Town.
Street and Road Maintenance
As a general rule, the Town maintains subdivision streets. Many
of the other streets within the Town limits are actually State roads
or highways. Therefore, they are maintained by the N.C. Department
of Transportation. To view a map that indicates which streets are
Town-maintained and which are not, click
