Four Mile Branch Creek
We understand that customers are concerned about the diesel spill that occurred at Four Mile Branch Creek earlier this week. We want all customers to know that the location and creek impacted in no way threaten the drinking water resources managed by Spartanburg Water. The spill occurred miles below our reservoirs and treatment plant. Our community should remain confident in the safety and integrity of their drinking water. Thank you as always for your continued support and concern.
Lake Blalock Policies and Guidance
Spartanburg Water maintains ownership of our drinking water supply reservoirs, including shoreline buffer property up to the 720’ Mean Sea Contour Line above the water's edge for Lake Blalock. We take this responsibility seriously and follow specific policies and procedures to ensure the long-term health and quality of the reservoirs that supply our community with its drinking water.
Much of the landscape around Lake Blalock is rural, but development nearby and adjacent to the reservoir is expected to significantly increase. To prepare for lakefront growth, SWS has developed plans for Lake Blalock to provide bank stability, maintain wildlife habitat, and filter out run-off pollution. Please read the Resolution to Project Water Quality, adopted by the Commission of Public Works of the City of Spartanburg.
We have adopted specific policies and procedures that govern all activities on Lake Blalock or on SWS property surrounding the reservoir.
