Taste and odor issue
Update – January 5:
Our drinking water professionals are continuing to address the unpleasant taste and odor issue caused by historically high levels of MIB, a naturally occurring compound associated with algae, in our drinking water reservoirs. We are using our Advanced Oxidation System and fine-tuning traditional treatment methods to address the problem.
Our staff are drawing water samples directly from our water sources and sending that data to consultants to find the potential cause for the rise in MIB levels.
While we continue to investigate the cause of these elevated levels, we want to clearly reassure our customers: your drinking water remains safe and meets all regulatory standards and we are seeing improvement as treated water continues to move through the distribution system.

Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District Base Charges
Your sewer bill is based on your volume charge and your base charge. The volume charge is based upon water consumption or recorded by water service agencies. Your base charge will increase to cover costs associated with meter reading and maintenance, billing and customer service, and a portion of capital costs, including the rehabilitation of aging wastewater infrastructure. Your base charge will be determined by the size of your meter. Contact Customer Experience at (864) 582-6375 for rates on unmetered well water systems
