YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
June 2012
Dear Resident or Property Owner/Manager,
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and the consulting engineer, RS&H, began the design phase of the Parkwood Storm Drainage Improvement Project in February. Design work continues along with some additional survey work. Plans include modifying the stream channel to have a more natural shape for long-term stability and to better manage heavier rain storms.
For more information, please visit our website at http://stormwater.charmeck.org
and click on Storm
Water Projects dropdown menu in the green bar, then

If you have any questions about this project, please contact Project Manager David Perry at 704-336-4202 or dperry@charlottenc.gov.
Help protect our 3,000 miles of streams!

• 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.
