GCCDD Creek Issue Reporting Guide

The GCCDD 311 App allows residents to report issues related to creeks, channels, and drainage ditches maintained by the Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District (GCCDD).

Report These Issues

Please use the app to report:

  • Fallen trees or large debris blocking a creek or channel

  • Excessive vegetation obstructing water flow

  • Erosion along GCCDD-maintained channels

  • Damage to channel banks, outfalls, or drainage structures maintained by GCCDD

  • Illegal dumping in or near creeks and drainage channels

  • Flooding concerns directly related to GCCDD-maintained waterways

  • Other maintenance issues affecting the flow of water in GCCDD channels

Do Not Report These Issues Through This App

This app is not intended for drainage infrastructure maintained by cities, utility districts, or private property owners.
Please contact your city, MUD, HOA, or property owner for:

  • Storm drains located in streets

  • Neighborhood drainage inlets and curb drains

  • Street flooding caused by blocked storm drains

  • Roadway drainage issues

  • Drainage concerns within subdivisions

  • Standing water on private property

  • Water or sewer service issues

  • Potholes, street repairs, or traffic concerns

Not Sure Who Maintains the Drainage Feature?

If you're unsure whether a creek, ditch, or drainage channel is maintained by GCCDD, submit a report through the app. Our staff will review the location and help determine the appropriate agency whenever possible.
