Indian Trail Planning Department Welcomes Senior Planner
Indian Trail's Planning Department recently hired Matthew Ward as its new senior
planner. Before joining Indian Trail, Matthew worked for 12 years as a planner in
Henrico County, Virginia, specializing in site design. He earned a BA in Geography
from UNC-Greensboro and an MURP from Virginia Commonwealth University. He
also holds an NCCZO certification.
Matthew lives in Charlotte with a variety of pets, including Koi fish. In his free time,
he enjoys traveling and exploring new places.
On working at Indian Trail, he says he is "excited to see the town grow and develop a
downtown destination defined with a unique identity."

Stormwater Maintenance: Is Pool Water an Illicit Discharge?
Yes! Anything that enters a storm drain will travel directly to a
nearby waterway without receiving treatment. These waterways
can include your creeks, streams, lakes and ponds.
Pool water is infused with chemicals such as chlorine, bromine,
algaecides, biocides and stabilizers. These are all highly toxic to
wildlife. Draining pools into storm drains can pollute creeks with
these contaminants.
Dechlorinate your pool water by allowing the water to sit in the
sun for two weeks without adding any chlorine before discharging
the water. You may also use a chemical dechlorinating additive.
Always be sure to test your pool water before discharging. All
pool drainage must be clear, colorless and free of suspended
solids.
Saltwater pools cannot be drained to a storm drain. Salt can harm
freshwater wildlife and impact a creek's delicate equilibrium.
Saltwater pools will need to be pumped by a professional pool
service company and disposed of in an appropriate manner.
Pool filters should never be cleaned in the street, gutter or near
a storm drain. Filters should only be rinsed above a lawn or
other pervious surface.
Uniquely Indian Trail
Indian Trail is a one -of -a -kind community that we are proud to call home. This
year, we are going to highlight the things that make Indian Trail a unique place
to live, work and play.
Low Tax Rate
Residents and businesses alike enjoy Indian Trail's low tax rate. At 18.5 cents
per $100 of assessed value, it's one of the lowest tax rates in Union County
(and the state!) for a town of our size. While residents and current businesses
benefit from it, the low tax rate also helps Indian Trail attract new businesses,
which in turn benefits the entire community. The Town Council understands
the importance of keeping taxes low, and in partnership with Town staff, will
continue to be good stewards of our taxpayers' dollars.
Sardis Church Road
Roundabout Update
Work is set to begin soon on the U-5987 (Unionville -Indian Trail Road and
Sardis Church Road Intersection Improvement Project). The Town's goal was to
complete this project last summer, but due to the FAST Act process (the project
is partially funded with federal dollars) and utility conflicts it was delayed. It
also experienced a funding hold late last year which prompted an additional
delay.
In the past month, funding has been reinstated, and Indian Trail's Engineering
Department plans to advertise for the project in February with a goal of
construction beginning in March.
The road will remain open through the initial phase of work, which will focus
on utility construction (water and sewer). Once the school year ends, the
intersection will be closed, and construction will begin on the roundabout. The
intersection will remain closed until school begins again in August.
An official start date for the project will be provided closer to time. For
information on detours for when the intersection is closed, visit
www.indiantraii.org/534/Sardis-Church-Road-Roundabout.
