The Updates and Paperwork You'll Need
ReWa serves residents in Greenville County and portions of Anderson, Laurens, Pickens and Spartanburg counties with nine water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) and more than 300 miles of collection lines. ReWa’s Development Manual provides the standards and procedures for planning, design and construction of new sewer conveyance infrastructure to be owned, operated and maintained by ReWa.
For new development, service availability, and general development questions, contact us at development@re-wa.org.
CAD Resources
ReWa's CAD design standards shall be used to complement the requirements set forth by all applicable federal, state and local requirements. In instances where information between separate guidelines conflict, the more stringent guideline will prevail. For more information on our standards, please review the ReWa Development Manual.

To process a service lateral request. we require a service lateral connection form signed by ReWa, the subdistrict and a $250 review fee.
Capacity-Limited Areas
The Upstate is advancing at an unprecedented rate and we work hard to ensure the region is ready for that growth. We monitor and evaluate our service area to identify locations that have wastewater capacity limitations. Proposed developments in areas with limited capacity may experience delayed capacity review times while our engineering staff looks at the impact the potential development would have on the current sewer system.
Capacity approvals in these areas might be held or denied until we review and approve the satellite sewer agency's efforts to measure and there is a reduction of inflow and infiltration (I&I). Contact development@re-wa.org to learn if your parcel or development may be impacted by capacity limitations.
Rates, Fees and Charges
We work hard to ensure our rate programs remain responsible, progressive and flexible to meet the everyday needs of our growing community.
Affordability Program
We offer temporary financial support to qualifying customers in our service area.
