- This project will alleviate wastewater capacity needs identified through Charlotte Water's Capacity Assurance Program.
- The current pipe is 8-inches in diameter and replacement pipe is anticipated to be 24 inches.
- Irvins Creek Tributary Trunk Line project will create a larger receiving wastewater pipe for both a proposed regional wastewater lift station, as well as increasing proposed development demand in Mint Hill.
- This project is anticipated to be activated by the end of 2019. Utilizing a Progressive Design-Build project delivery method will allow Charlotte Water to work collaboratively with the Design-Build team and complete the project in a shorter timeframe than a traditional delivery method project.
- Crews will tunnel under Matthews-Mint Hill Road (Highway 51).
- Lane closures will be announced in advance.

Other Area Projects in the Design Phase:
Stevens Creek and Goose Creek Water and Wastewater Improvement Projects - This project includes the construction of a new wastewater lift station that will serve the Stevens Creek and Goose Creek basins in Mint Hill.
Stevens Creek Trunk Sewer Phase 2 - This project will extend a portion of Stevens Creek Trunk Sewer Phase 1, further upstream.
