CWSRF Notice – Peachtree Sewer Booster Pump Station
September 18, 2026
The Peachtree Sewer Booster Pump Station project is being financed by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF). The CWSRF program is administered by the SC Department of Environmental Services (SC DES) and the South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (SCRIA) with joint funding from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This project is designed to increase the capacity of the existing transmission system by transferring flows to the Bucksport WWTP. The pump station will also reduce pressures of the existing system and allow for regional pump stations to operate more efficiently.
There were several booster pump station locations considered including upgrades to existing stations. Due to the configuration of the large transmission mains and cost of alternatives the Peachtree site was the only feasible option. This location provides an efficient point to provide multiple interconnections within the existing system to improve system redundancy and resiliency.
The estimated cost of the project is $6,900,000
The project will have no adverse impacts to wetlands. There are no major environmental impacts associated with this project.
Grand Strand Water & Sewer Authority (GSWSA) will host a public hearing on Monday, October 19th, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. to discuss the project and to hear public comments. Members of the public are welcome to attend and provide comment for the public record. The meeting will take place at the Grand Strand Water & Sewer Authority Administration Center located at 166 Jackson Bluff Road, Conway, SC 29526.
