Honors Bestowed Upon OJRSA

Oconee’s Joint Regional Sewer Authority has picked up a pair of statewide honors — one which carries some irony. The first came from the Water Environmental Association of South Carolina, presented at Myrtle Beach. It’s a big deal because of safety measures at the county treatment plant.

The second award came from South Carolina DHEC. In recent years, because of sewer overflows, the JRSA and the state agency have entered a consent order. In this instance, however, DHEC recognized the Oconee plant with an award of excellence, reflecting no overflows in the year 2021.
