November 2013
Dear Resident,
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and US
Infrastructure of Carolinas (USI) continue to work through
the planning phase of the Edgewater/Rosecrest Storm
Drainage Improvement Project. USI has prepared the
Alternatives Analysis Report. City staff is comparing the
different means of addressing the stormwater drainage
issues in the neighborhood. A public meeting will be
scheduled to present the recommended alternative and
solicit comments from the residents. Meeting details will be
mailed to residents two weeks prior to the meeting.
The project goals are to update the existing
infrastructure, reduce the flooding in structures and
streets, increase channel capacity and reduce erosion.

Water Projects drop down menu in the green bar, then

If you have any questions about this project, please
