Did you know that $0.62 of every $1.00 in your water bill is reinvested in system improvements?
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) Engineering oversees 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. All projects are paid for by customers through water bills.

- Proposed Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility - This is near the Catawba River and would serve the Long Creek basin in Mecklenburg County.
- McAlpine Creek 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 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 Installation Project - This project will provide a wastewater sewer collection line along Reedy and McKee Creeks. This will bring public wastewater service to the property owners in the Reedy and McKee Creek basin.
- Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion - This project will upgrade the wastewater plant at the intersection of Park Road and Tyvola Road for current and long term customer needs.
- Paw Creek Force Main Replacement - replaces a section of existing 24-inch force main with a new relocated 36-inch pipe near airport. Project will be complete Summer 2011.

- Southwest Water Transmission Main - Completed - is a 72-inch diameter water transmission main carries large volumes of drinking water to southern and western Mecklenburg County. Crews began construction in January 2005 and completed phase A in 2008. Phase B began in 2007 and C began in 2008.
- Vest Water Treatment Plant Upgrade - Completed - the historic plant is near the intersection of Beatties Ford Road and Brookshire Boulevard. The upgrade included improvements to the building, pipes and storage tanks.
- Franklin Water Treatment Plant Reservoir Expansion - This $18 million project will combine two existing reservoirs (105 million gallons total capacity) into one new 250-million-gallon reservoir during next year and a half.
- Old Statesville Road (in design) - install 60-inch to 36-inch in diameter drinking water pipe between Starita Road and Sunset / Statesville / Old Statesville Road intersection. This will be coordinated with a road widening project. Updates will be posted here.
