In 1998, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities began operation of its first reclaimed water system at The Tradition Golf Course and at Mallard Creek Park. Every gallon of reclaimed water that is used to irrigate a lawn conserves a gallon of fresh, drinking water. This increases the amount of available water for use by Charlotte-Mecklenburg residents.
Environmental Management - provides for the high-level treatment of more than 78 million gallons of wastewater per day at five plants; also includes industrial sewage pre-treatment monitoring and oil & grease prevention programs.
