Storm Water Projects are designed to:
1. reduce water pollution or
2. reduce flood risks or
3. both.

Specific goals of our larger projects may include:

• Reducing house and street flooding by improving the storm drainage system
  
• Changing the stream path to a more natural design
  
• Stabilizing eroded creek banks
  
• Restoring the floodplain to its natural state and function
  
• Enhancing water quality
  
• Improving habitats for aquatic life and wildlife

As a water quality initiative, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services repairs and rehabilitates ponds and dams within the Charlotte city limits.

Watch videos about the project process or understanding project construction. These videos specifically refer to Charlotte.  Procedures used by the six Towns and Mecklenburg County are similar but may not be identical to the City's.

Maintenance projects involve storm drainage improvement repairs for qualifying customers.  These are usually small projects that involve water from a public street and address the concerns of just one or two property owners.
