We are identifying ways to improve the Hare Snipe watershed in northwest Raleigh. We will be making improvements in this area by:

• Reducing flooding impacts with upgraded stormwater pipes; 
• Improving water quality; and, 
• Repairing streambanks (or riparian area). 

During this process, we will be collecting input from the community. More details coming soon.

Studying Water Flow 

The consultant used meters to track how much water flows in the watershed and what areas flood. They completed the work at the end of July. Now they are studying those findings. This will help us determine what upgrades can be made to streams and stormwater pipes in the watershed. 

Other Work 

The consultant also continues to work on the rest of the study, which includes preparing for community outreach, collecting more data, and handling water quality modeling.

They will also start doing stream inspections in the fall. During inspections, the consultant will document stream conditions and look for streambank erosion.
