Water Supply
The Board's water division serves approximately 9,500 residential, commercial, and industrial customers. A raw water pump station, on the Broad River, pumps to our primary source, Lake Whelchel, or directly into the Victor Gaffney and Cherokee Water Treatment Plants. This assures an adequate water supply well into the next century. The Board has a total treatment capacity of 18 million gallons of water per day. In addition to over 200 miles of water lines, the Board has four above-ground storage tanks, including the Peachoid, and 2 million gallons of ground-level storage.
