CORNELIUS, N.C. — A No Swim Advisory has been lifted for a portion of Lake Norman after a wastewater spill.
Charlotte Water said they responded to a wastewater overflow off of Jetton Road on July 4.
Officials said a pipe failure caused an estimated 700 gallons of wastewater to reach Lake Norman.
“A majority of wastewater overflows can be prevented with your help,” Charlotte Water spokesperson Cam Coley said. “Anything put in plumbing or a manhole can cause wastewater overflows, spilling raw sewage into your street, your creek or even inside your own home. Even products labeled as ‘flushable’ do not breakdown in the sewer system and can contribute to clogging.”
The advisory was lifted on Monday.
