Drought Information

The South Carolina Drought Response Committee met on August 6, 2026, and downgraded the drought status for Spartanburg County from severe to moderate. Beneficial rain over the last 30-days resulted in more normal stream flows which refilled our communities water supply reservoirs and provided much needed relief across many areas of upstate South Carolina.

With the improvement of our drought status, Spartanburg Water is no longer requesting voluntary water use restrictions for customers in the Spartanburg system.

Customers in the Landrum system should still follow voluntary use restrictions on all non-essential water use. Please see the press release that outlines the suggested restrictions.
