Cornelius, NC – A NO SWIM advisory was issued today for a cove on Lake Norman (see map at MeckLakeAdvisory.com).
The “No Swim” advisory was issued after an estimated 8,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Lake Norman from a private sanitary sewer manhole located at 21328 Nautique Boulevard. The discharge was caused by a blockage in the sewer line. The blockage has been removed and the discharge discontinued.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services staff will monitor water quality in the area until bacteria levels are determined to be suitable for human contact at which time the no swimming advisory will be lifted.
To receive notifications of No Swim Advisories in Mecklenburg County, text MECKNOSWIM to 888-777.
Rusty Rozzelle, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services’ Water Quality Program Manager, said the advisories are standard procedure. “Since this cove on Lake Norman is used for recreation, it is important to inform residents of the discharge and advise against swimming in the impacted area due to the potential risk to human health,” said Rozzelle.
