What We Do

Industrial and commercial waste, like all types of waste, can seriously damage the environment if not treated or properly disposed. Our Pretreatment Department provides environmental regulatory oversight to more than 100 industrial customers and 1,700 foodservice establishments in the greater Greenville area.

We work hard to ensure all parties contributing wastewater to ReWa’s Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) remain compliant with local state and federal laws.

It’s important to manage Inflow and Infiltration (I&I), which occurs when rainwater and groundwater enter the sewer system. I&I dramatically increases the water flow entering our facilities and can place a strain on the system, resulting in overflowing manholes.

By removing extra water from the collections system, we can:

• Ensure a clean environment for future generations
• Decrease the need to build new Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF)
• Reduce the potential for sanitary sewer overflows

Thinking about the next five years … and beyond

Greenville is growing at an unprecedented rate and we work hard to ensure the region is ready for that growth. Named a Utility of the Future by National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), we’re committed to enhancing our area’s quality of life through the quality of our waterways.

With our strategic plan, we’ve outline clear, intentional goals to ensure our facilities are operating at an unmatched level of excellence for next the five years and beyond.
