Are you curious about how we plan to clean the water at our new water treatment facility? Our facility will utilize cutting edge ceramic membrane filtration modules built right here in the United States. Our architecture will be modular, allowing for easy scaling with future demand. Best of all, no extra chemicals like fluoride are needed.

It’s official! We have signed the remaining paperwork to finalize our FERC permit for our water treatment facility. Thank you to all of the elected officials and community members who worked hard to make this possible. A special thank you to Representative Davey Hiott, whose efforts in this process were invaluable.

PRJWS Chairman Tom Ponder had the following to say, “Our team has worked tirelessly to make it through this permitting process. We are excited to move forward with the next construction phase for our water treatment facility. We are now one step closer to putting Pickens County residents in control of their water supply.”
