Yeah, I'm sure the high school kid at the boat rental desk has the full scoop.
"Lake Wheeler is a secondary drinking water supply for Raleigh, so city officials have to maintain the water quality. They say the no-swimming policy is in place because people create more pollution than engines."
Its standard procedure for swimming to be banned in water supply lakes. I can't answer the why, but the article I linked to does.You are free to believe what you want, of course.
Otherwise, I can't answer your questions, but I'm sure you can find the answers if you really want to find them. I think you're just another perpetually aggrieved, angry man on the internet though. Best of luck!
City of Raleigh owns Lake Wheeler.
As the last line in the story says: "You can't swim at any of the lakes within the city of Raleigh. If you want to take a dip, you'll have to go to one of the city pools or state parks."
Army Corps of Engineers own Jordan Lake and Falls Lake, so they fall outside City of Raleigh jurisdiction, perhaps?

You can do just about anything at Jordan Lake and get away with it. Just saying...

"Bright and big bodied, with just enough earthiness to remind me of its origin. Smooth with dark chocolate and traces of fruit, peanut, and barbecue undertones."
Having moved to the area from coal strip-mining and failed/uncapped/ancient gas and oil well territory, I find Jordan Lake water to be quite an improvement!
I don't miss the 4pH or high-acid water that made laundry smell like sulfur and didn't rinse off soap and shampoo in the shower.

By the time they finish running that water through reverse osmosis, anion/cation exchange, and other purification techniques, i'm sure that all of the bacteria, fecal matter, and dissolved solids are completely removed.

We Cary-ites cannot be too careful, so the rule is to water our lawns only with bottled water.
