Who are we?

Anderson Regional Joint Water System (ARJWS), located at 998 Hunters Trail, Anderson, SC 29625 is a partnership of rural and municipal water districts devoted to providing a high-quality, clean, safe, reliable, economical flow of treated water to its wholesale customers in Anderson and Pickens counties.

Where is our water sourced?

ARJWS is supplied by surface water from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 55,000-acre Lake Hartwell Reservoir, which lies along the border of Upstate South Carolina and Georgia. The plant operates 24 hours per day, every day of the year. Its current capacity is 45 million gallons a day (MGD).

How do we treat water?

ARJWS uses a conventional filtration system consisting of flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration processes. Our filters are composed of gravel, sand, and carbon, and they remove 99.9% of particulate matter from the water. Finished water is chlorinated to prevent bacterial growth, ensuring that customers receive the highest quality water.
