Charlotte Water Capital Improvement Project: Clarke Creek Pump Station and Force Main Project

Charlotte Water and its contractors have begun construction on the Clarke Creek Pump Station and Force Main Project.

Wastewater generated from portions of Northeastern Mecklenburg County currently flows to the Water & Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC). Due to an increase in development and demand in the area, it is necessary to build a new facility to divert a portion of the Clarke Creek Basin flow to the McDowell Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant instead.

Pumping a portion out of the Clarke Creek Basin will allow for new development to continue and will ensure ongoing, reliable service for CLTWater customers.
