Shillington
storm drainage improvement project
YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
August 2011
Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
its engineering consultant, PBS&J, have completed
construction plans and documents for the Shillington
Storm Drainage Improvement Project. The plans
and documents have been submitted to the City of
Charlotte’s contract services department to request
competitive bids. After City Council approval, the
City awards the construction contract to the lowest
responsible bidder. Construction is scheduled to begin
in early 2012.
The project area is roughly bound by Park Road to the
east, Sharon Road to the north, Sharon Acres Road
to the east and includes parts of the Quail Hollow
Country Club. The project will improve storm drainage
infrastructure to reduce flooding of streets, properties
and structures.

Are you prepared for a flood?
Anywhere it rains, it can flood. And floods are Charlotte-Mecklenburg's most common
and costly natural disaster.
In Charlotte-Mecklenburg, flood risks are especially high in the summer and early fall.
Thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes can cause heavy rain and flash flooding.
During a Flood:
•
Pay attention to flood watches and warnings.
•
Turn around, don’t drown! Don’t walk or drive through floodwater.
80% of flood deaths happen in vehicles.
•
Be prepared to move to higher ground.
