PRWD Providing Blend of Treated Water to Customers

Customers of Pioneer Rural Water of Oconee-Anderson are being provided with a blend of treated water from Lake Hartwell and Lake Keowee. At a meeting in Oakway, it was explained that “M-I-B” can cause a distinct earthly or musty odor. To offset this, Pioneer purchases water from Seneca, which treats water from Lake Keowee, while Pioneer treats water from Lake Hartwell. This helps to reduce the taste or odor that some people may detect.
