CCRWC Capital Projects Status

SC Infrastructure Improvement Project (SCIIP) - Chesterfield County Regional Capacity Increase Project

This project includes a new larger line (12”) on Hwy 1 from the metered connection with Alligator just east of Patrick to the Intersection of US 1 and Hwy 52 to just east of the bridge on Hwy 1 and 52, that will replace the smaller mixed diameter lines currently in place; a new 6” line Teals Mill Road from Juniper Junction to the railroad overhead bridge; and replaces the 8” asbestos concrete line on Hwy 9 from the Hwy 9 elevated tank to just west of Airport Road in Pageland with a 12” ductile iron line.  Since CCRWC is ineligible to apply directly for SCIIP funds, Chesterfield County applied on behalf of the water company.

Construction on the original Hwy 9 portion of the project is now complete and in service.  A recent contract amendment added additional scope, faciltatiing a new 12" main along Maynard Street (from Airport Road) that will tie into the Lynches River Industrial Park Project (see below) line on Hwy 9.  The Hwy 1 portion of the project is nearly complete and is operable.  Taps are being moved over to the new line and a new pressure reducing valve/meter pit installation is pending approval as an additional amendment to the original grant.  

Rural Infrastructure Authority Grant – Lynches River Industrial Park Water Supply Project 

This project consists of two new sections of 12" water main (On Pageland-Whitestore Road and Hwy 601) to help supply additional water to the Lynches River Industrial Park on Hwy 601, north of Pageland.  These new additions will also bolster the water supply in the western portion of the county and help provide additional water for the new growth in that area. This project was a collaborative effort between Chesterfield County, RIA, and CCRWC. Since CCRWC is not eligible to be the recipient of Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) grants/loans, Chesterfield County applied for this grant on behalf of CCRWC.  The construction portion of this project is complete, with pressure testing and chlorination underway.  

Community Development Block Grant - Hillian-Edwards Road Project

Last year CCRWC submitted documentation through Chesterfield County and the Pee Dee Council of Government (COG) for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to fund a line extension on Hillian-Edwards Road between Chesterfield and Cheraw.  This grant has been approved and is now awaiting a SC Department of Environmental Services construction permit.  Once obtained, the project will be sent out for bids and construction will commence.
