All eight SSSD wastewater facilities recognized for excellence
June 3, 2020
The Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District (SSSD) is proud to announce that we are once again the recipient of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Facility of Excellence Award. All eight of our wastewater treatment facilities received this individual honor:
- A. Manning Lynch Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Clifton Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Cowpens Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Fingerville Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Lower North Tyger River Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Pacolet Wastewater Treatment Facility
- Page Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility
- South Tyger River Wastewater Treatment Facility
SCDHEC, in junction with the Water Environment Association of South Carolina (WEASC), seek to recognize facilities that strive for excellence in operation, including meeting compliance standards, implementing improvements, and practicing safety, in addition to protecting the environment. Also 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 SSSD has continued to win this award annually since the program’s inception. In early May 2020, we learned every one of our wastewater facilities were recognized, based on 2019 performance.
” These awards are result of the hard work and attention to detail of all of our employees at Spartanburg Water,” said Director of Wastewater Treatment Services, Rick Jolley.
