Common questions
Did Lilburn flood in 2009?
Yes. During the September 2009 floods, the Yellow River rose to record levels. Floodwater topped the electrical controls of Gwinnett County's Yellow River Water Reclamation Facility near Lilburn, knocking it offline, and residents near the river dealt with high water. Homes in low ground near the Yellow River and Camp Creek carry the most risk.
Who provides emergency service in Lilburn?
Lilburn has its own police department, while fire and EMS come from Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services, including Station 3 on Five Forks Trickum Road. For water near electrical or a gas smell, call 911. For drying and repairs once it is safe, book a restoration inspection.
