Charlotte, NC – September 4, 2026 – Carolina Water Service of North Carolina (CWSNC) recently completed approximately $8 million in upgrades at the Fairfield Harbour Wastewater Treatment Plant, enhancing the reliability and long-term performance of a critical community asset.
The project included upgrades to the wastewater treatment process, installation of new piping, pumps and blowers, improvements to monitoring and control systems, and reconditioning of treatment tanks. The improvements modernize key components of the facility while supporting continued environmental compliance and operational efficiency.

That trust is important to us, and why we work hard to proactively and prudently complete needed upgrades."
