Cedar Fork Subwatershed Study

The Town of Chapel Hill’s Stormwater Management Program has contracted with W. K. Dickson to conduct a study of the Cedar Fork subwatershed as part of the larger Booker Creek Watershed. This study will identify and prioritize stormwater projects that will help to stabilize streams, improve water quality, and lessen drainage and flooding problems.

Thank you for your participation! For more information about what you can do about drainage and water quality, visit the Town’s stormwater website at www.townofchapelhill.org/stormwater.
