Congratulations to Weston Brazel, Electric Dept., on being selected as the Catch Them Doing Something Right award winner for July! One of Weston's fellow co-workers was on-call for the weekend when they had a family emergency. The family member lived out of town and had fallen and broken several bones. The co-worker was needed to provide assistance to their family member. The co-worker contacted Weston and asked Weston to take his call that weekend so he could travel to help his family member. Weston did not hesitate to step up and support his teammate during this difficult family emergency. He willingness ensured that CPW had coverage for any calls that came in and the teammate could travel to be with his family. Weston's actions demonstrated teamwork, dependability, compassion and a commitment to supporting his co-worker and our customers. Great job, Weston!!!

We were honored to be recognized last week at the American Water Works Association's Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE) for our continued commitment to delivering high-quality drinking water to the Greenwood community.

Greenwood CPW received the Partnership for Safe Water Phase IV 20-Year Excellence in Water Treatment Award, recognizing 20 consecutive years of maintaining top-tier, fully optimized treatment performance, and the Phase III 25-Year Directors Award, recognizing 25 years of continuous commitment to optimizing our treatment processes.

Greenwood CPW was the fourth utility in the nation—and the first in South Carolina—to achieve Phase IV Excellence in Water Treatment, making this 20-year recognition an especially meaningful milestone.

These awards represent the dedication of our Water Treatment team, whose work often happens behind the scenes. Every day, they carefully monitor source water, optimize our treatment process, and work to ensure the water we provide continues to meet or exceed all state and federal drinking water standards.

Thank you to our operators, laboratory staff, and everyone who plays a role in delivering high-quality, reliable drinking water to our community. We are proud of this recognition and remain committed to serving Greenwood with excellence.

Congratulations to the South Carolina Section utilities recognized with Partnership for Safe Water Tenure Awards at - the American Water Works Association’s annual conference.💧
