• Crews will install 7,000 linear feet of 24-inch wastewater pipe.
• Normal work hours: 7:00 am – 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
• The contractor will work nights and weekends only as needed.
• The construction area will be beside Beaverdam Creek between future West Boulevard and Loch Glen Way.
• This gravity sewer line serves homes and businesses located in the Dixie River area of Charlotte.
• Updates will be posted on this website and NextDoor.
• Photobook of water and wastewater construction
• Videos
• Construction Easements
• What to Expect During Construction

Construction can be loud, dirty, and inconvenient. Crews will be using large excavators and storing materials on construction easements.

• Clearing – Trees, shrubs, bushes and other vegetation within the construction easement area will be removed. Debris will be transported off-site.
• Pipe delivery and storage – Pipes and other equipment are delivered and stored within the construction easements.
• Establishing a safe work zone – Fencing will be put in place and pipe will be stabilized to prevent it from moving.
• Trench digging.
• Placing pipe and backfilling.
• Customers may feel a rumble occasionally between 9 am and 4 pm.
• Crews may remove rock formations by blasting or rock hammers.
• Property owners within the 500-foot radius of blast sites were contacted.\
• Blasting is a standard construction procedure and all safety precautions will be taken.
• Residents may hear a warning horn and feel a slight vibration or rumble similar to a slammed door or thunder.
• Construction traffic (excavators, dump trucks) in the easements and road right-of-way. Once the pipe is installed near your property, you may continue to see construction traffic along the easements until the pipe is tested, manholes are adjusted and restoration is complete.

• ​The gravity sewer serves residences and businesses along Beaverdam Creek in Charlotte.
• The area serviced by this gravity sewer line has seen a high rate of infill development and changes in land use related to the redevelopment near Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.
• To design the optimal route for this project, engineers have taken many factors into account including engineering specifications, human and environmental impacts, regulatory requirements, and budget. 

​Properties that will be directly affected by construction will be contacted to discuss easement agreements. Areas near construction will be notified before construction.
