SCDES, in conjunction with the Water Environment Association of South Carolina (WEASC), seeks to recognize facilities that strive for excellence in operation. This includes meeting compliance standards, implementing improvements, practicing safety and protecting the environment. Other measures taken into consideration are financial viability for projects and rehabilitation, as well as exceeding customer expectations based on customer service record, communication and community outreach.
The Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District has continued to win this award annually since the program’s inception, with recognition given to the prior year’s performance. The award presented was for the 2025 calendar year.
“Receiving these SCDES awards each year reflects the dedication and expertise of our Spartanburg Water team members who choose to serve this community,” Guy Boyle, CEO of Spartanburg Water said. “Their commitment to upholding regulatory standards, prioritizing safety in their work and protecting our environment is evident every single day. I’m honored to work alongside such a committed group of professionals.”
