your storm water fees at work
December 2008
Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services has hired The
Isaacs Group to design the storm drainage infrastructure
improvements in the Brentwood Place Storm Drainage
Improvement Project area.
You may have noticed surveyors and stream specialists
working in your neighborhood over the past few months.
The survey and stream assessment will be complete by the
middle of January. At that time, Storm Water Services will
review the survey and stream information and the Isaacs
Group will begin their analysis of existing conditions, to
have a better understanding of the storm water problems in
your area.
For more information, please view project updates and
exhibits on the web at: http://stormwater.charmeck.org
(Click on Storm Water Projects, Storm Water Projects
again, and then Brentwood Place). If you are new to the
neighborhood and/or did not complete a questionnaire
earlier, please visit our website to download the questionnaire
to inform us of drainage problems in your area.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have
any questions about this project, please contact Matthew
Gustis, Project Manager, at 704-336-6183 or email
mgustis@ci.charlotte.nc.us.
