Clean Stream Program
What is the Clean Stream Program?
The Spartanburg Water Clean Stream Program is similar to Spartanburg Water's annual "Lake Sweep" in that both water quality initiatives are focused on removing litter from our roadsides and waterways. The Clean Stream Program, however, coordinates smaller and more frequent events throughout the year. The benefit of this program is that clean-up efforts are expanded throughout the watershed, ultimately helping to further reduce the effects litter has on our water source and water supply.
Why is the Clean Stream Program Important?
Every day our roadways are carelessly littered with waste items like aluminum cans, glass bottles and tires, just to name a few. Unfortunately, these items eventually wash into our waterways, impairing water quality, littering our landscape, disturbing local wildlife habitat, and disrupting recreational activities. By reducing the effects litter has on our watershed, the Clean Stream Program will help to improve water quality and ensure an excellent source of water for the future.
Who May Participate?
Anyone who is interested in improving water quality within the North Pacolet, South Pacolet, and Pacolet River Watersheds may participate. Clean Stream Program volunteers may include local schools and colleges, Boy Scout troops, youth groups, fraternities, sororities, businesses, or any other interested individual or group.
