A state-of-the-art pump station started work Tuesday, marking Charlotte Water's first push past Mecklenburg County lines into Mount Holly. Drawing from Mountain Island Lake, this facility meets rising water demands in the fast-growing region.

The station brings a fresh approach to wastewater management. Built with cutting-edge tech, it cleans local streams while handling more customers than ever before. Students get real-world science lessons right at the source.

Leaders from both cities watched the ribbon fall at the launch event. "We're excited to celebrate with our community as we take this big step forward together!" Charlotte Water said per Queen City News.

Mount Holly's switch brings major shifts. The town's old system, which also pulled from Mountain Island Lake, now gives way to modern methods.

Smart design puts nature first. Advanced filtration keeps rivers pure, while expanded capacity serves the booming population. Each drop of water meets strict quality standards.

Young minds find inspiration here. Special zones let kids touch, see, and grasp water science basics. They watch filtration in action and learn why clean water matters.

This marks a turning point. After years of staying within Mecklenburg's borders, Charlotte Water now stretches its reach. The move opens doors for future growth across county lines.

Since Sept. 16, every tap in Mount Holly flows with Charlotte Water. The changeover from old pipes to new wrapped up right on schedule.
