MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — During the hottest stretch of temperatures the greater Charlotte area has seen since 2015, the Mecklenburg County Detention Center is decreasing its air conditioning functionality.

At 6:30 a.m. on Monday, July 28, the air conditioning in Tower One is set to undergo scheduled maintenance to restore full functionality to the cooling system. Staff and residents will experience a “temporary disruption in the air conditioning services,” according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.

The air conditioning is expected to be fully operational by Monday afternoon.

Ahead of the maintenance, officials said the system will be functioning at about 45% capacity, making the affected areas warmer than usual.

“We realize this may cause discomfort and inconvenience, and we kindly ask for your patience and cooperation as we work to make these essential repairs,” the sheriff’s office said. “Staff will monitor conditions closely and take any necessary steps to support the health and well-being of residents and employees during this brief period.”

Most of the region is under heat advisories or extreme heat warnings this weekend as feels-like temperatures could exceed 105 degrees.
