Quality
It is impossible to ignore how important clean, safe water is in our daily lives. We use it for so many, many things – cooking, cleaning, bathing and – most importantly – drinking. Your drinking water consistently meets or surpasses all of the water quality standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).

Storage & Delivery
By storing water, we make sure that you always have the water you need – even during times of the day when water use in the community is at its highest. Stored water also ensures that water is available at all times for emergencies such as firefighting. We closely monitor the delivery of drinking water, know when demand is changing and direct water to where it is needed most.

Water Treatment
Your drinking water goes through a carefully monitored, step-by-step process to make sure it is clean and safe before it reaches your faucet. BJWSA water operators go through an extensive certification process to learn the many requirements necessary to protect public health.
