A "No Swimming" advisory was lifted today for a portion of Lake Wylie. See the map below. 

The “No Swimming” advisory was issued on June 23, 2023, after 300 to 400 gallons of sewage spilled into Lake Wylie from a private sanitary sewer lift station located at 4001 Performance Road in Charlotte, N.C. The discharge was caused by a broken pump in the lift station. The pump has been repaired and the discharge discontinued.

On June 28, 2023, laboratory results were received for water samples collected by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services staff revealing that bacteria counts are within safe limits; therefore, the "No Swimming" advisory has been lifted.

To receive notifications of "No Swimming" advisories in Mecklenburg County, text MECKNOSWIM to 888-777.
