Perspective

Sewage spills early this past summer on Paradise Cove, also in The Peninsula, involved 200 and 405 gallons of wastewater, small, in comparison, to other spills.

A “No Swimming” advisory was lifted 11 days after more than 800,000 gallons of raw sewage spilled into Paw Creek Cove on Lake Wylie in July of 2021.
