Project Updates

June 2026

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services is working with D&A Wolverine and their surveyor, Survey and Mapping Control, Inc., to evaluate the storm drainage system in the Lanier area.

Representatives may need to enter your property to collect survey data on the existing system. While state law authorizes access to private property, no building or structure will be entered.

The survey work is scheduled to begin in June and take about 4 months to complete.
