First, Quality Always.
Mission
- Water
-
We are committed to ensuring the quality of your
water. Efforts are continually made to improve the water treatment process
and to protect our water resources. Our water source is Duke Water Systems,
Hartwell Lake Filter Plant, which is supplied by surface water from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Hartwell Lake Reservoir, lying along
the border of Upstate South Carolina and Georgia.
Pendleton
Water Works routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water
according to federal and state laws. We send out an Annual Consumer
Confidence Report which shows the results of our water quality analyses.
Every regulated contaminant that we detect in the water is listed
in this report. We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds
all federal and state requirements.
More
information about contaminants and potential health effects can be
obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
- Sewer-
The sewer system runs 3' to 8' underground throughout
the town. It consists of an 8" pipe made either of plastic, clay
or ductile iron. It collects all of the raw sewage from the town and
delivers it to the Waste Treatment Plant for refinement.
For
emergencies after hours, call (864) 646-9073. You will automatically
be connected with an answering service which will dispatch the employee-on-call.
- Sanitation -
The Department of Public Works provides weekly
routine sanitation collections of household and business garbage within
the town. After daily collections, it is taken to the Anderson Regional
Landfill, where it can be disposed of properly.

daily garbage and brush pick-up schedule.
Bulk
Container Users: We offer a service where we will pick up, empty,
clean and disinfect your bulk container for a fee of $40.00. If interested,
please contact Kandice
Morgan at the (864) 646-9073, to make an appointment. All appointments
will be scheduled for a Friday afternoon.
- Brush -
The Department of Public works provides a weekly
routine collection of debris and brush. This is defined as any metal,
wood, household furniture, yard trimmings, and brush. All brush and/or
trimmings must be 6 foot in length or shorter.
In
2002, Pendleton entered into a partnership with the municipalities
of Central and Clemson to dispose of brush at the Clemson Brush Grinding
Facility located at the Clemson Public Works Department. All brush
is now being taken to Clemson to be made into mulch which is then
given back to the residents of Pendleton, Clemson and Central at no
charge.
The
brush that can not be taken to Clemson, along with other debris, is
taken to the Starr C&D Landfill which is operated by Anderson County.
If
you have any questions concerning brush or would like information on
obtaining free mulch, please call Kandice
Morgan at (864) 646-9073.

the following awards/certificates from Keep
America Beautiful:
- Waste Minimization Pride Award

Projects
- Community Service Program -
We work with the Department of Pardons and Parole
in Anderson, to provide a place where people can work off their community
service time. Once here, they are required to work a minimum of 8 hours
per week. Failure to do so results in their termination from the program.
Once their hours are complete, a copy is sent in to the Department of
Pardons and Parole and their agent is notified of their completion.
We
hope to show them that life is what you make out of it, and that hard
work is a part of life. Hopefully, by the time they complete the program,
they will leave here with more self-respect and higher esteem.
For
more information about being a Community Service Program Volunteer,
call Sheila Alewine at (864) 260-2230.
