Celia Avenue storm drainage improvement project YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK April 2013 Dear Resident, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and consulting engineer Armstrong Glen continue to design the storm drainage improvements on Celia Avenue. This project will replace the existing culvert near 2708/2624 Celia Avenue and reduce street flooding at this culvert crossing. City staff is in the process of acquiring two parcels necessary to construct the improvements. After the City has completed the acquisition of two parcels, one house will be demolished. Various types of easements on several other parcels will be needed to construct the project. An easement is a right to use land owned by another party for a specific purpose. Easements give the City permission to come onto the property to repair drainage problems and perform future maintenance. If the City must access your property to construct the project, a representative from City Real Estate will contact you to obtain these easements.
