The Lincoln County Health Director issued a No Swim Advisory at 4:30 pm Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, for a sewage spill at Cricket Cove Court, Denver.
Approximately 100 gallons of untreated sewage may have leaked into the cove in Lake Norman. The spill was caused by a utility boring crew drilling into a marked low pressure line. The Killian Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is taking water samples and putting out signs. Results will be forwarded to the County Public Utilities Department who will notify the Health Department. The public can resume water activities in this area when samples indicate fecal coliform counts are at an acceptable risk level per state guidelines from the NC Department of Environmental Quality.
