 What to Expect When Using 311

311 serves as a central line for all non-emergency Town services. When you call weekdays from 7 a.m.-7 p.m., a Citizen Advocate will answer your question or create a service request, and a tracking number will be generated for you to track your request.

If a Citizen Advocate is unable to fulfill your request on the spot, they will assist you in navigating the many departments and functional areas of Cary, ensuring you are directly connected to the best person who can help. This means Cary citizens, visitors, and businesses don't have to spend time trying to find the right group or individual to get what they need.

After business hours and on weekends, citizens calling 311 can report a water or sewer emergency. All other after hours requests are best handled via the online services portal.

When NOT to Call 311

311 does not replace a request for emergency services. Please call 911 in the event of an emergency, including but not limited to fire, injury, or a crime in progress. For non-emergency police requests, dial (919) 469-4012.
