Here in the idyllic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we are fortunate to have access to some of the world’s most pure, great-tasting water and beautiful natural watershed areas—and Greenville Water is dedicated to preserving and investing in that legacy.

With more than a century of history and stewardship as a foundation, Greenville Water is proud to serve our neighbors and protect our pristine waterways through future-ready best practices and state-of-the-art technology. Our experienced and passionate leadership team is composed of members of The Commission as well as our chief management officers, and Greenville Water employs 245 engineers, accountants, chemists, mechanics and more skilled professionals across the region.

Greenville Water actively manages and analyzes our three water sources and their treatment facilities: Table Rock Reservoir, North Saluda Reservoir, and Lake Keowee. These invaluable resources, along with our Mission, Vision and Strategic Plan, inform our commitment to customer satisfaction and smarter, more sustainable growth, ensuring quality water for all—and for generations to come.
