DENVER, N.C. — A sewage spill into Lake Norman led officials to declare a Water Activity Advisory for Lake Norman on Jan. 26. Officials announced it had been lifted at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
According to the advisory, around 200 gallons of untreated sewage may have flowed into the lake after a “failure at a lift station.”
Residents and boaters were asked not to go into or on the lake due to a risk of fecal contamination.
Water samples were taken and tested before the advisory was lifted.
The public can resume activities on the water, officials said.
