YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
January 2014
Dear Resident,
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
consulting engineer, Armstrong Glen, continue to work
on the Gaynor Storm Drainage Improvement Project.
Easement acquisition is complete and the final design
plans are under review.
The bid phase should begin in the next few months.
During the bid phase, the final plans will be circulated
to qualified contractors for a competitive bidding
process. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder
is awarded the construction contract. The bid phase
typically lasts 6 months.
