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.
Beginning with Municipal Reservoir #1 in 1926, Lake Bowen in 1960 and Lake Blalock in 1983 - the three Spartanburg Water drinking water reservoirs help supply more than 26 million gallons of award-winning drinking water every day to more than 200,000 customers.
