Large Water Meter Projects

The resources listed below are provided to assist developers, engineers, and contractors with requirements related to new Large Water Meter Services, those greater than 2-inches in size, within Spartanburg Water's service area.

We require all projects to adhere to the standards and requirements outlined in the Technical Specifications for Water Distribution System Improvements, available below.

The Engineering Department will provide design drawings for large water meter services upon request. We also offer standard details and specifications that can be incorporated into site utility plans to be prepared by others.

The key to success of large meter service projects is early communication. Please contact us before beginning a project so we can assist you.

Contact Joel Watson at (864) 580-5681 or jwatson@spartanburgwater.org if you have questions.
