A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR GREER COMMISSION OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE VALUABLE RESOURCE IT PROVIDES TO GREER AND TO CONGRATULATE THE ORGANIZATION FOR ITS TENTH CONSECUTIVE AREA-WIDE OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM EXCELLENCE AWARD GIVEN BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL (DHEC) FOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN MEETING WATER QUALITY GOALS.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Greer Commission of Public Works (Greer CPW) was recognized in November 2017, for its tenth consecutive water quality award; and

Whereas, the mission of Greer CPW is to serve our community by providing safe, high quality, and reliable water, natural gas, electric, and wastewater service in an environmental and fiscally responsible manner consistent with sound business principles; and

Whereas, the water filter plant receives water from two raw-water reservoirs, Lake Cunningham and Lake Robinson. Constructed in 1957, Lake Cunningham covers about two hundred acres. Lake Robinson, constructed in 1984, has about eight hundred surface acres; and

Whereas, Greer CPW's water filter plant has eight employees, an onsite laboratory, capacity to treat twenty-four million gallons of water daily, and consistently meets or exceeds DHEC's drinking water standards; and

Whereas, DHEC's area-wide optimization program is to encourage water treatment plants to "voluntarily optimize" or increase filtration and treatment systems to help protect the health of the public; and

Whereas, the voluntary performance goals reached by Greer CPW for the past ten consecutive years are based on water turbidity, sedimentation, and filtration. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Greer Commission of Public Works for the valuable resource it provides to Greer and congratulate the organization for its tenth consecutive area-wide optimization program excellence award by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) for achievements in meeting water quality goals.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Greer Commission of Public Works.
