We love you, Greenville Water. Some of the best tap water in America — aka Greenville Water — recently unveiled progress on a streambank restoration project in the North Saluda reservoir, specifically along Callahan Branch in Northern Greenville County.

What’s been done so far?

  • A barrier has been added along the waterways to reduce runoff
  • Rocks and toe wood revetments (think: a fancy woven mat made of logs) were placed to help stabilize the banks + make it easier for plants to grow
  • Kudzu and other invasive plants have been removed
  • The stream was reconfigured using “heavy earth-moving equipment” (like an excavator) to reduce erosion + sediment making its way into the stream

How is Greenville Water paying for this project?


Costing ~$300,000, the Callahan Branch Project is mostly funded by a grant from the SC Department of Environmental Services via the Environmental Protection Agency under a section of the Clean Water Act.

Calling all volunteers. Remote Area Medical — a mobile medical service — will host a free health care clinic in Greenville on Feb. 1 + Feb. 2, 2025 and needs volunteers to help. The clinic opens at 6 a.m. and will be at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville. (Greenville Journal)

We’re all in this together. The South Carolina New Play Festival is launching “South Carolina’s Next Broadway Star,” a scholarship contest for high school musical theater students.

Finance

Drink
