🚰 What to know about our H2O

Why Greenville’s drinking water is some of the best in the US

As we celebrate Greenville’s beverage community during Drink Up Week, today we’re honoring what is arguably Greenville’s best drink: water.

Today, Greenville Water serves 500,000+ residents in the Upstate and sources from three reservoirs: Table Rock Reservoir, North Saluda Reservoir, and Lake Keowee.

According to the 2023 water quality report, Greenville water meets all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards — it’s also won multiple “Best Taste” awards.

Did you know?

  • The Greenville Watersheds are virtually 100% forested with 100+ miles of permanent streams. Public access to these lands is restricted, which is why Greenville Water is nationally known for providing some of the purest and best-tasting drinking water in the country.
  • The Greenville Watersheds house diverse wildlife including bats, the pickerel frog, common raven, black bear, wood rat, green salamander, and the peregrine falcon (which is federally protected).
  • There are currently 16 known species of fish, and possibly up to 28 others, that thrive in these clear cool waters.
