Paradise Cove is off Peninsula Point
June 30. About 405 gallons of wastewater overflow spilled into Lake Norman off Paradise Cove Court, not far from Jetton Road. A total of 810 gallons was spilled, according to Charlotte Water. Utility officials said a truck driver accidentally broke a pipe.
There is a no-swim advisory in effect.
A no-swimming advisory issued by the county will be lifted when Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services staff decides the water is “safe for human contact.”
Anything put in plumbing or a manhole can cause wastewater overflows, spilling raw sewage into your street or even inside your own home. Products labeled as “flushable” do not break down in the sewer system and can also contribute to clogging.
