Charlotte Water (CLTWater) is preparing to install a new lining inside the existing wastewater pipes serving customers between Post Ridge Court and April Day Lane.
The estimated start date is late 2025 and construction will last approximately one year. We will continue to update you as the project progresses.
- Crews will reline (rehabilitate) approximately 6,000 feet of 54-inch wastewater pipe.
- CLTWater and contractors are working with customers to minimize disruption.
- Charlotte Water fees (i.e. water bills) fund these improvement projects.
- Updates will be posted on this website and Nextdoor.
What To Expect
- Crews will clear the existing easement in preparation of the project.
- Construction vehicles enter easement from Highway 51 and Johnston Road. Other access points may be developed.
- The pipe liners will be pulled into the pipes via existing sewer manholes. The sock-like pipe liner will extend the wastewater pipe’s service life.
- Black above ground pipes will be installed to continue service to customers while wastewater pipes are temporarily out of service for relining.
- If you see or suspect that wastewater is leaking out of the pipes, please call 311 or 704-336-7600 and say or select wastewater emergency.
Service
There are no planned water or wastewater service disruptions for this project. Any unplanned outages will be treated as emergencies and repaired immediately.
Odors
Customers shouldn’t notice any odors from this project. During the actual relining process customers in the immediate area may smell a brief odor outside. If you smell odors in your building please pour a gallon of water into floor drains, toilets, and sinks.
Access
All work will be on CLTWater easements or road right-of-ways. Customers will have access to driveways unless notified in advance. Street parking may be restricted when construction is in the immediate area.
Cost:
TBD
Project goals
Crews clean inside wastewater pipes and install a sock-like lining inside an existing pipe through manholes to extend the use life of pipes. Existing sewer manholes will also be rehabilitated to extend their service life.
Public involvement
Property owners will be notified in advance. CLTWater and contractors are working with county representatives for the greenway to minimize disruption.
