Water Service Line Materials Inventory

As required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), the City of Hickory is developing a service line material inventory for our water system. Identifying water service line materials helps protect our water customers from the potential health hazards of lead.

We need your help to complete our inventory. Please visit the link below to complete a survey to self report your water service line materials. 

Curbside Loose Leaf Collection

City of Hickory Public Works crews collected more than 8 million pounds of leaves during the 2023-2024 leaf season, and crews are geared up and ready to begin this year’s loose leaf collection on Nov. 11. Curbside leaf collection will continue until Jan. 17, 2025, per the announced schedule.
