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.
Municipal Reservoir #1 is the last point of intake for our R.B. Simms Drinking Water Treatment Facility.
As our oldest drinking water reservoir, constructed in 1926, Municipal Reservoir #1 is the last point of intake for our R.B. Simms Drinking Water Treatment Facility. The reservoir is vital for our community’s economic prosperity and for public health.
We have adopted specific policies and procedures that govern all activities on Lake Bowen or on SWS property surrounding the reservoir.
