Location of sewage spill in cove adjacent to Jetton Park

July 5. There’s been another sewage spill in Lake Norman, this time in a cove between Jetton Park and Halyard Pointe/Double Eagle in The Peninsula.

A pipe failure on July 4 caused the overflow, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSW).

It’s the third spill in five weeks in Cornelius waters.

The new spill is about 875 gallons of sewage caused by a pipe failure at 18630 Jetton Road. The line is being repaired and the discharge discontinued, according to a press release from CMSW.

They issued a “No Swim” advisory.

CMSW staff will monitor water quality in the area until bacteria levels are determined to be suitable for human contact at which time the no-swim advisory will be lifted.
