Stakeholders celebrated a ground-breaking ceremony for the Orangeburg-Berkeley Reach Water Line Project earlier this morning, Thursday, March 28, 2024. The Orangeburg-Berkeley Reach Water Line project will connect a new 20-inch water transmission line to an existing 24- inch water transmission main on Highway 453 near the Town of Holly Hill. The line will extend the water transmission main approximately 16 miles to the southeast and connect to a main located at Volvo Cars Drive, northeast of the Town of Ridgeville in Berkeley County.
The additional water line capacity will support future and existing development needs, including approximately 210,000 people currently residing in unincorporated Berkeley County and the municipalities of Moncks Corner, Summerville, and Goose Creek. The water transmission line will also serve the 3,000-acre Camp Hall Industrial Park where Volvo Cars has its manufacturing facility.
Additionally, the line will provide water to the western rural part of Berkeley County, bringing much-needed potable water to areas currently using well water. Adding water access will also provide fire protection for residents in these areas and save millions of gallons of water daily being flushed from the Lake Marion Regional Water System.
