Utility Production & Distribution
The Water Department maintains all potable and non-potable water lines which include flow testing, servicing, and replacement of fire hydrants; installation of residential, commercial, and industrial water taps and water metering systems; location, mapping, and maintenance of water valves; 24-hour response to customer problems and emergency repairs; managing public and private backflow devices which prevent cross-connections and protect the potable water system. All operations of water system maintenance are strictly regulated by the SC DHEC, which inspects our records annually.
