Wastewater spill on Belle Isle
Belle Isle spill occurred near John Connor
Oct. 26. Charlotte Water crews responded to a wastewater spill near 17311 Belle Isle Drive yesterday. An estimated 93 gallons reached Lake Norman out of 370 gallons that spilled.
What happened
A cement truck accidentally damaged a low pressure pipe causing the overflow.
Crews were able to vacuum most of it and return it to the pipe network for treatment.
Background
Most homes along the lakes are served by low pressure sewer systems that convey waste to a gravity fed sewer to our wastewater treatment plants.
This incident happened on Belle Isle, a few hundred feet southwest of the intersection with John Connor.
There have been a half-dozen sewage spills into Cornelius waters this year.

It is a waste of my time to comment on this. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you, fool us 7 times and we are just not holding those who are profiting on the building around the lake to ensure this can not keep happening.
