YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
Dear Resident,
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
consulting engineer HDR continue to move forward
with the planning phase of the 6th and Graham
Storm Drainage Improvement Project. The goals
of this project are to improve the storm drainage
infrastructure and to reduce flooding of streets and
structures.
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 6th and Graham.
If you have questions, please contact Project Manager
Greg Cole at 704-336-4824 or gcole@charlottenc.gov.
During the Planning Phase, HDR analyzes the storm
drainage system within the neighborhood to determine
how well it is working and to locate any problems and/
or concerns. HDR is now analyzing several possible
alternatives to determine the best solution.
