Hill Street s t o r m d r a i n a g e i m p r o v e m e n t p r o j e c t your storm water fees at work December 2013 Dear Resident, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services continues to work through the planning phase of the Hill Street Storm Drainage Improvement Project. The existing conditions and design standards analyses have been completed, and City staff and its consultant are now working to analyze and evaluate several alternatives to determine a preferred option for design. A public meeting will be scheduled to present the preferred option and solicit input from residents. Meeting details will be mailed to residents approximately two weeks prior to the meeting.
