RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE SPARTANBURG WATER'S LANDRUM DRINKING
WATER TREATMENT PLANT ON RECEIVING THE "BEST TASTING WATER" IN SOUTH CAROLINA AWARD
AND TO COMMEND SPARTANBURG WATER FOR THE HIGH STANDARDS THAT PROVIDE SAFE,
RELIABLE, AND, INDEED, EXCEPTIONAL WATER TO ITS CUSTOMERS.

W
hereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Spartanburg Water's
Landrum Drinking Water Treatment Plant was presented with the "Best Tasting
Water" in South Carolina award at the annual South Carolina Environmental
Conference, hosted in Myrtle Beach, March 15-18, 2026; and

W
hereas, the Landrum
plant competed against a large group of fourteen drinking water utilities from
across South Carolina. The winner was selected in a blind taste test judged by
water professionals from across the United States and Canada; and

W
hereas, winning the
"Best Tasting Water" honor speaks to the culture of excellence across
Spartanburg Water's drinking-water team. From the operators who run the plant,
to the laboratory staff members who verify quality, to the maintenance crews
who keep equipment performing at its best, it takes a coordinated effort to
deliver water of this standard; and

W
hereas, the Landrum
facility will accompany other first-place winners from both the United States
and Canada to compete for overall best tasting water in North America at the
2026 American Water Works Association's ACE Conference, to be held in
Washington, D.C.; and

W
hereas, Spartanburg
Water, an industry-winning utility, is composed of Spartanburg Water System and
Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer District. It serves a population of nearly two
hundred forty thousand within Spartanburg County, as well as others in parts of
Greenville, Union, and Cherokee counties. With the help of its dedicated team
of nearly three hundred employees, each day it produces an average of
twenty-five million gallons of drinking water and cleans fourteen million
gallons of wastewater for its customers and community. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives
,
by this resolution, congratulate Spartanburg Water's Landrum Drinking Water Treatment
Plant on receiving the "Best Tasting Water" in South Carolina award and commend
Spartanburg Water for the high standards that provide safe, reliable, and,
indeed, exceptional water to its customers.

B
e it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Guy Boyle, Spartanburg Water chief
executive officer.
