The pump station at Tuckaseegee Park replaced the old wastewater treatment plant, which was built in the 1960s.
The station will send 2-3 million gallons of wastewater underground every day, the Gaston Gazette reported.
The pipes pass underneath the Catawba River and Long creek.
This is the next step for the Stowe project, a massive $650 million water treatment facility being built in west Charlotte.
The plant will serve northwest Mecklenburg County, as well as the cities of Belmont and Mount Holly.
