your storm water fees at work
Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services has
acquired all necessary permits and easements
for construction of the Cherokee/Scotland Storm
Drainage Improvement Project. A constructability
review of the final design plans is underway,
and a few minor revisions may be needed. It is
anticipated this review will be complete in the next
several weeks and then the project will start the bid
phase.
For more information about this project, please visit
our website at: http://stormwater.charmeck.org
Click on Storm Water Projects dropdown menu in
the green bar, then Active Projects and Cherokee/
Scotland.
As part of the bid phase, staff will begin preparing
the bid document. Competitive bids are taken
from responsible contractors to perform the work.
If you have any questions, please contact Project
Manager Jackie Bray at jbray@charlottenc.gov or
704-336-6770.
After City Council approval, the City awards the
construction contract to the lowest responsible
bidder. The bid phase typically lasts 4 to 6 months.

Don’t wash your car on your driveway or in the street.
Soap suds flow to the nearest storm drain, then
directly into the nearest creek. That could kill fish and
other aquatic life.
Instead, park your car on your lawn to wash it. Or,
better yet, take your car to a professional car wash
where the water is cleaned. You’ll have a clean car and
all of us will have clean streams.
