Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services continues to work on the Jefferson Storm Drainage
Improvement Project. Phase highlights:
JEFFERSON
storm drainage improvement project
Phase 1: Construction is complete and the project is currently in the warranty phase. There will
be a one-year monitoring phase and follow-up inspection as part of the City’s warranty period.
Phase 2: This project is currently in the bid phase. Construction will begin shortly after the
contractor is approved by City Council. Construction is expected to begin first on the Carmel Park
Drive ponds near the end of the year. Work will progress in a downstream-to-upstream manner
and move to different areas after each stage of work is completed. The construction completion
target date remains June 30, 2010.

Phase 3: This project is following closely behind the Phase 2 schedule and is expected to begin
the bid phase in early to mid Fall. Once the bid phase has been completed, construction will
begin first on Jefferson Drive with replacement of the large culvert adjacent to the pond. Work
will then progress up to various other culverts and pipes, working in a downstream-to-upstream
manner. The construction completion target date remains June 30, 2010.
Some common concerns regarding construction are listed on the flip side of this card. Please
take a few moments to read this information to understand the temporary disruptions associated
with drainage improvement projects.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Our goal is to minimize the impact
of any construction. The designers
of this project have taken great care
to develop a construction plan that
will minimize inconveniences to you.
However, the very nature of this
work often makes it necessary to
temporarily reduce or detour traffic
flow and close streets. We will help
you locate parking if your driveway
is blocked temporarily.
HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
This kind of work uses
heavy construction vehicles,
including dump trucks,
concrete trucks, and earth
moving and trenching
equipment, all of which
are quite loud during
operations. The contractor
may keep equipment
within the work area for the
duration of the project.
OPEN HOLES AND TRENCHES
If it is necessary to maintain an open hole
or trench, the contractor is required to make
the area safe with fences, barricades, or
other methods. Please be cautious as you
enter and exit your property.
