The Greenwood CPW advises the residents and businesses East of the intersection of 25 Bypass NE and Reynolds Ave up to the 1500 block of highway 72/221 East, which included Sprott St and Old Sample St located in Greenwood County, that they no longer need to boil their water prior to drinking or cooking.

Following the repair of the main water line break located at the intersection of Highway 72/221 and 25 Bypass NE intense flushing of the distribution system was conducted, bacteriological samples were collected and analyzed by the Greenwood CPW.  The results of this sampling indicate that the system is safe to use for drinking and cooking purposes.

If anyone should have questions, please contact the Greenwood CPW at 864-942-8117.
