Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) has monitored the water quality of the Reedy River, just below the utility’s Lower Reedy Water Resource Recovery Facility, since an unanticipated bypass from the plant was discovered on Nov. 11. Laboratory analysis from sampling completed on Nov. 11 shows that water quality directly below the bypass into the Reedy River returned to normal levels very quickly.
Proper notifications were made to the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services and the Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works.
For additional information, please contact our hotline at 864-299-4004. Any updates will be posted as a “news alert” at the top of our homepage at ReWaonline.org.
