Diving In

*LF = Linear Feet

Halfway There - September 2021

Midway through the SWM Project, Charlotte Water had laid 7,843LF* of pipe. The team worked closely with business owners and residential properties to ensure there was continued, reliable service for customers throughout the duration of the project.

Floating Along

April 2022

Deep into the project, Charlotte Water managed to always keep at least one lane of traffic open in both directions on South Boulevard. Pedestrian crosswalks remained open to foot traffic in bustling South End.

Keeping Things Flowing

September 2022

Within two years, Charlotte Water and the project team installed approximately 2 miles of drinking water pipe, increasing the width of the pipes under South Boulevard from 12" to 24". Four times the amount of water can now flow into the area to better serve the booming South End community.

Live, work and play in South End? Expect some clean-up activities from SWM this fall. The project team will be restoring medians and sidewalks, installing curbs and gutters and paving the road along the final stretch of the project route.

Water We
Waiting For?

In July, Charlotte Water (CLT Water) and its contractors began the final phase (phase 11) of the South End Water Main (SWM) Improvement Project and expect to conclude the work in late September.

As part of this final phase, the SWM project team will switch South Blvd. southbound traffic to the middle of the road between the barrier walls and close W Tremont. This closure will begin Wednesday, Aug. 3 and will remain in place till late September.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will also be in the road closure area working on storm drainage system improvements. Storm Water Services and CLT Water are working simultaneously on W Tremont to limit public impact and reduce the need to close the same area at a later date.
