CHARLOTTE — It is time to unplug, grab some gloves, and help protect Charlotte’s waterways.
With over 3,000 miles of waterways that run through Mecklenburg County, it takes a lot of effort to keep North Carolina’s creeks and streams healthy.
That is why every year Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services hosts Creek Week.
