your storm water fees at work
August 2009
Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
engineering consultant, Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM),
are progressing with the design phase of the Eastburn
Storm Drainage Improvement Project. The project area
is bounded by Sharon Road, Park Road, Fairview Drive,
and Stokes Avenue.
A public meeting will soon be scheduled to present the
design plans to neighborhood residents for comment.
Meeting details will be mailed to you two weeks prior
to the date.

Hurricane Season is Upon Us!
Stay safe during storms
Hurricane season is upon us. In CharlotteMecklenburg, tropical storms often bring storm
winds and flooding downpours. In the past
30 years, more than half of the US deaths
associated with hurricanes were due to inland
flooding.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg flood risks are
increasing because of changing weather
patterns and because of increased land
development.
