REEDY RIVER SWEEP

In 2008, Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) employees and volunteers participated in the 18th annual Reedy River Sweep. The ReWa “Stream Team” group, in partnership with employees from Black and Veatch, removed trash and debris from a 1.5-mile section of the Reedy River. The portion runs through the property of the Mauldin Road Wastewater Treatment Plan at the intersection of I-85 and Mauldin Road, and serves as the receiving stream for the plant’s effluent. The fall workday was scheduled in conjunction with the South Carolina Beach Sweep/River Sweep weekend. The statewide program is organized by the SC Sea Grant Consortium, the SC Department of Natural Resources and the SCANA Corporation.
