Shadowlake Pond storm drainage improvement project Dear Resident: YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK April 2013 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services has obtained all easements for the Shadowlake Pond project. The design phase continues and the permit applications have been submitted to the agencies for review. The Project Team may still be working in the area collecting information necessary to complete the design. Once the construction drawings are complete and all permits have been obtained, the project will begin the bid phase. During this phase, competitive bids are taken from responsible contractors to perform the work. After City Council approval, the City awards the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The project is currently on schedule to begin construction this winter. The recent construction activity between the pond and Ryder Avenue was related to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) sanitary sewer rehabilitation project. The project is now complete. Please contact Chris Allen, CMUD project manager, at 704-391-5131 or callen@charlottenc.gov for questions related to the sanitary sewer project.
