your storm water fees at work
January 2009
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services continues
to work with the engineering consultant, Post,
Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&J), to complete
the design plans of the Shillington Storm Drainage
Improvement Project. Staff is currently reviewing
final design plans for the project and are hoping to
schedule a public meeting with all the property owners
in the next couple of months to discuss the proposed
improvements. This meeting will give you a chance to
see the design plans and determine how the proposed
improvements relate to you and your property. We will
send a meeting notice at least two weeks in advance of
that date for you to set aside some time to attend.
A map showing all the selected improvements can be
found on the project website at http://stormwater.
charmeck.org and click on Storm Water Projects, Storm
Water Projects again, Shillington, then Improvements
Exhibits at the bottom of the webpage.
If you have any questions or would like to see how your
property relates to the recommended system, please
contact the Project Manager, Stewart Edwards, at
stedwards@ci.charlotte.nc.us or 704-336-7036.
It is that time of year when a chill fills
the air and snow begins to fall.
Sometimes, instead of snow, we
get ICE. Next time the weather
turns bad and your sidewalk is
slick, spread sand to get a grip on
that slippery walk.
If bad weather strikes the area
causing limbs and brush to
fall, residents are encouraged
to prepare debris to normal
collection guidelines (limbs no
longer than 5 feet in length
and no wider than 4 inches in
diameter). The storm debris
should be taken to curbside. Do
not place debris in storm drains,
gutters or on creek banks.
