The City of Dallas prioritizes public safety and the integrity of the Dallas Floodway. Through the Flood Control and City-Wide Interior Drainage division (Flood Control), the city strives to provide information for all Dallas citizens to review and consider when​ they live near a levee. 

Flood protection is the primary service provided by the Flood Control Division and is provided through the maintenance and operation of the Dallas Floodway Project consisting of pump stations, pressure sewers, levees, flood walls, drainage/closure structures, channels, floodways and miscellaneous facilities. Maintenance of the Dallas Floodway System must be performed in accordance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) regulations. Other duties include maintenance of the Flooded Roadway Warning System (FRWS), flood gauge sites, retention/detention basins, and Civil Defense sirens. 

The Neighborhood Drainage Services section maintains city-owned creeks, channels, and floodway management areas, including, but not limited to, the removal of blockages on city-owned creeks/channels (except creeks and channels located in Parks) and storm sewers. The section also responds to inclement weather emergencies such as snow/ice, windstorms, and street flooding.
