Beginning sometime after 10AM this morning SCWSA will be working on 3 different leaks in the Atlas Drive neighborhood.  This will effect only those SCWSA customers on Atlas Drive, Saluda Shores and the handful of SCWSA customers living between 331 to 355 Prices Bridge Road.  We will try to repair these leaks as efficiently as possible to minimizing the inconvenience.  Thanks in advance for your patience! 

Tomorrow, January 26th at 10AM SCWSA has scheduled a temporary interruption of service for all SCWSA customers east of McNeary Ferry Road.  The interruption should last only a couple of hours.  The reason for the interruption of service is to tie a new water line into our system on Shealy Road.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Earlier this afternoon SCWSA experienced a sudden loss of water.  Originally it was thought to be a major line break.  Rather, it was discovered that the City of Newberry's Water Treatment Plant had an unexpected interruption of service. It drained our northern tank off of Old Cherokee Road.  Newberry’s Water Treatment Plant has resolved the issue.  With that said, if you experience cloudy water, it is a result of air in your water.  It should dissipate over the course of the day.  If you have discolored water you can flush your line or let SCWSA know by sending an e-mail through our website or calling our emergency on-call phone number 864-993-7078.  Thank for your patience! 

Last night SCWSA had a significant line break.  It drained our northern tank off of Old Cherokee Road.  The line break was fixed this morning.  SCWSA is currently flushing lines.  If you experience cloudy water, it is a result of air in your water.  It should dissipate over the course of the day.  If you have discolored water you can let SCWSA know by sending an e-mail through our website or calling our emergency on-call phone number 864-993-7078.  Thank for your patience!

To our customers in Saluda Waters the switchover from the well system to our surface water distribution system was successful this morning!  SCWSA wanted to pass along the good news!

To our customers in Saluda Waters, SCWSA will be switching over from our well system and to our surface water system.  The swithcover will be tomorrow morning at about 10 AM.  We believe that you should not have any interruption of service.  With that said, we always like to provide notice when SCWSA is working in an area where there is a chance our customers could experience an interruption of service.  If SCWSA has to interrupt service we will be notifying the Saluda Waters neighborhood, by going door to door.

You may be experiencing discolored water. SCWSA had to repair the 16-inch line on Saturday that feeds the entire system. SCWSA tested our water and it is clean. SCWSA has been commutating with SCDHEC and they are satisfied.  Initially, SCWSA had thought we would need to send a boil water advisory, after discussing the location of the repair SCDHEC did not believe it was necessary.  SCWSA has been working since Saturday flushing lines and we should be finished today.  If you still have discolored water flush your line and it should clear up.  It is not necessary, but if you are still concerned, you can simply boil your water.  Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Our operators had been working since early this morning attempting to repair a break on Mt. Willing (close to Hwy 378).
