your storm water fees at work
Dear Resident:
May 2012
Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
consulting engineer, Woolpert, continue with the design
of the Myrtle/Morehead Storm Drainage Improvement
Project. The project boundaries are South Boulevard to
the northwest, John Belk Freeway to the northeast and
East Park Road to the south. The project goal is to improve
storm drainage infrastructure and reduce flooding of streets
and structures.
Project update includes:
• Staff is working with the North Carolina Department
of Transportation and utility companies to resolve
potential conflicts and concerns.
• Crews have been collecting survey, geotechnical and
utility information.
•
•
Woolpert submitted preliminary design plans for
review.
A public meeting is tentatively planned for this fall to
share the design details with you.

The top two pollutants in Charlotte creeks are sediment and bacteria.
The best way to control erosion is to plant something. Nothing holds soil
in place better than plant roots.
Soil testing in North Carolina is free. Take the guesswork out of fertilizer
and lime purchases.
Charlotte receives more rain than Seattle.
Creeks start in Charlotte and flow downstream out of the County.
