The transition from Utilities, Inc/Carolina Water to the Town of Lexington is the realization of many years of effort by the Town, Central Midlands Council of Governments, other regional municipal and county governments, state and federal environmental regulators, and concerned citizens to fully implement a regional sewer system to improve water quality and safeguard our natural waterways in accordance with the Clean Water Act of 1972.

The Town of Lexington looks forward to providing reliable sewer service, along with exceptional customer service to our more than 2,200 clients. Our commitment includes substantial planned investments in sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and improvements over the next five years to ensure the sewer system meets high environmental, safety and service standards.
