Charlotte Water and Mecklenburg County have reopened the Stewart Creek Greenway near Lela Avenue.

The greenway was closed for several months after a heavy rain washed away part of the creek bank causing a wastewater pipe to fall into the creek.

We appreciate your patience during this emergency wastewater pipe replacement project, and we hope you enjoy using the newly restored greenway!
