Lake Alert – Shoreline Project at Lake Bowen Park

Dear Neighbors,

Spartanburg Water will begin the first phase of a multi-phase project to stabilize the shoreline along Lake Bowen at Lake Bowen Park the first week of June.

Using native plant species, the project will address shoreline erosion and impervious surface run-off that can negatively impact Lake Bowen as a drinking water reservoir.

The Lake Bowen Park will remain open throughout the project, which is expected to last through August. Monday through Friday, some parking spaces in the peninsula loop will be blocked off, but will re-open on weekends.

Residents with questions are invited to reach out to the Spartanburg Water watershed staff and lake wardens at the Lake Bowen Park office – (864) 592-2240.

This project is part of a 319 Grant awarded by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC).

319 Grants are awarded to fund projects that are intended to help reduce pollutants in an area of a watershed that will help lead to measurable water quality improvements. The grants are funded from an annual grant allocation from the EPA under Section 319(h) of the Clean Water Act.
