DWSRF Notice – Peachtree Water Booser Pump Station
September 18, 2026
The Peachtree Water Booster Pump Station project is being financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The DWSRF program is administered by the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) 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 water distribution system through the construction of a new high service pump station. Increasing pumping capacity in the distribution system is necessary as the capacity of the Bull Creek SWTP expands in capacity, and population in the water system increases. The new pump station will allow for more system resiliency and redundancy.
There were several pump station locations considered. Due to the configuration of the large transmission mains of the Bull Creek SWTP and distribution system the Peachtree site was the only feasible option. The location of the new pump station provides an efficient point to provide multiple interconnections with the existing system to improve system redundancy.
The estimated cost of the project is $8,000,000.
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.
