Storm Drain Cleaning! KCB Charlotte

Posted in: Madison Park

Good Afternoon Adopt a Street Participant,

     I hope you’re doing well in this unprecedented time! With the state headed into hurricane season and summer storms hitting the area with some frequency, it’s important that city storm drains are kept clear of debris to prevent flooding, erosion, and other hazards. The more storms there are, however, the more sticks, leaves, and litter block these drains. That’s why Keep Charlotte Beautiful and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services are calling on YOU to help keep our drains clear this fall!

 

When clearing storm drains, use gloves or litter grabbers to remove debris. Place debris in trash bags, and be sure not to remove the storm grate. We’ve updated the language on page six of the attached Adopt a Street Information Packet to provide more guidance on storm drain cleaning.

 

If you do decide to make this extra effort to keep Charlotte’s streets flood free, we want to hear about it. In addition to a normal cleanup report, submit a before and after photo of storm drains you’ve cleared along your route to kcb@charlottenc.gov to be entered into weekly drawings for prizes for you and your group through the month of August!

 

We are continuing to distribute supplies to a maximum of 15 volunteers per group from our Old City Hall location only and are washing and sanitizing all equipment after each use. Please adhere to CDC guidelines when conducting cleanups. Thank you all for the amazing work you do every day for Charlotte.

 

Kind Regards,

All of Seneca Place from Park Road to South Blvd is under an Adopt A Street contract in Madison Park.  

 

All of Tyvola Road from Park Road to Old Pineville Road is under an Adopt A Street program.

 

Both of the above have been under the KCB program since around 2005 and cleaned on regular basis by Madison Park HOA. 

 

The 5K running group also has Adopt A Streets in Madison Park (There running route).

 

There also was an Adopt A Street by another group on Montford Drive in Madison Park.
