Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Engineering oversees hundreds of -- and more than $200 million worth of -- water and sewer improvement projects each year.

Utilities is committed to providing timely, accurate information to customers and the general public about work that may affect them.

Check out the below links for detailed information about some of our largest and most visible water and sewer improvement projects.

  • The Southwest Water Transmission Main - is a 72-inch diameter water transmission main that will carry large volumes of drinking water to western Mecklenburg County.   Crews began construction in January 2005 and completed phase A in 2008. Phase B began in 2007 and C will begin in section in 2008.
  • West Water Main - connects the Southwest Water Transmission Main with other large pipes in south Charlotte.   Most of the construction will be off the road between Billy Graham Parkway and Remount.  Construction will then follow Remount to Tryon Street.

 

 

 

Sewer Projects

  • McAlpine Creek Sewer Improvements -This project will add capacity to the existing sewer so that it can handle peak flow events that occur during times of wet weather.
  • Briar Creek Sewer Improvements - Construction of Phase 1 began August 2007.  The goal is to improve the existing system, thus protecting the environment, and provide capacity for future growth.  Once each phase is complete, 80 year old sections of pipe will be closed.
  • Reedy / McKee Creeks Project - This project will provide a large sewer collection line along Reedy and McKee Creeks. This will bring public sewer service to the property owners in the Reedy Creek basin.
  • Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion and Upgrade Project - This project will upgrade the wastewater plant at the intersection of Park Road and Tyvola Road for current and long term customer needs.  This site also has updates about the pump station project currently under construction.
  • Proposed Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility - This is near the Catawba River and would serve the Long Creek basin in Mecklenburg County.
