your storm water fees at work
July 2011
Dear Resident:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
engineering consultant, US Infrastructure or USI,
continue to work on the planning phase of the
Lyon Court Storm Drainage Improvement Project.
For more information, please visit our website:
http://stormwater.charmeck.org. Click on the
Storm Water Projects drop down menu in the
green bar, then Active Projects and Lyon Court.
The consultant has analyzed the storm drainage
system within your neighborhood to determine
areas where there are storm water issues and/
or concerns. The consultant is now developing
several improvement alternatives that will be
evaluated to determine the best solution. Once
this is complete, a public meeting will be held with
the neighborhood.
If you have any questions, please contact Project
Manager William Harris at 704-353-1147 or
wtharris@charlottenc.gov.
Dog Waste Is Raw Sewage
Scoop it, bag it and place it in the trash.
Mecklenburg County is home to more
than 218,000 dogs. They produce over
72,000 pounds of dog waste every day.
Pet waste is one of the causes of
bacterial contamination of streams in
Mecklenburg County. The solution is safe
and easy.
1) Scoop the poop.
2) Put it in a plastic bag.
3) Place it in the trash.
4) Wash your hands.
We want to reduce our waste stream to landfills whenever possible.
Currently, there is no better alternative for disposing of pet waste.
