William R. Davie Park Stream Restoration

Stream Restoration and Water Quality Enhancement

In south Charlotte, Storm Water Services has restored a tributary of Four Mile Creek. Storm water runoff had overwhelmed the small stream that begins in William R. Davie Park. Over time, the surge of water had damaged the creek banks and toppled trees that once stood along the creek. This project restored nearly 1,500 linear feet of stream.
