Current Projects

As part of the grant awarded to CPW from SCIIP/RIA, New Ellenton CPW will be replacing the water line in some problem areas in the system. Prone to frequent leaks, Florida Ave. and Fern St. located in the town of New Ellenton will be replaced and a section of Club Dr. in Cedar Creek subdivision will be replaced as well. If you have any questions about this or any of our upcoming projects, the public is welcome to attend our monthly Commission meetings held on the 4th Monday of every month.

Update on March 25, 2025 - Work officially started in March 2025 on Florida Ave. Next they will move to Fern Street to replace those pipes. After the Masters, crews will begin replacing pipes on Club Drive in Cedar Creek to extend to Longshadow Dr.  We are excited to see the progress with the upgrades to our water system!

As part of the SCIIP/RIA Grant awarded to CPW in 2023, we are extending our water line on Chime Bell Church Rd.  It currently stops around Anderson Pond Rd. The plan is to extend the line from Chime Bell Church Rd/Anderson Pond Rd. all the way to Whiskey Rd. and tie it in with the existing line on Whiskey Rd. at the end of Chime Bell Church Rd.

UPDATE:  As of March 2025, the line extension project on Chime Bell Church Rd. is complete.

Beginning on March 1, 2021, a contractor for CPW will be installing 2,200 new radio read meters throughout the system.  Some customers already have a radio read meter, therefore their meter will not need to be replaced at this time.  We estimate that it will take approximately 10 - 12 weeks to complete the project, depending on the weather.  Radio read meters will allow field technicians to read meters more timely and accurate.

2020 - We are currently working with our engineering firm, Johnson, Laschober & Associates, P.C., to drill a new well at a site located on Darlington Drive off of Hwy. 19. This will help us to continue to meet the water needs of our customers. The project is slated to take place over the next 6 months to a year.

2024 - After a long delay in getting permits from DHEC, this project is moving forward and sealed bids will be accepted on February 1, 2024 at the New Ellenton CPW office by Director, Danny Lowe.

Questions from bidders will be accepted via telephone or email until 5pm on Wednesday, January 24, 2024. Questions should be directed to William Buchanan, P.E. at 706-724-5756 or wbuchanan@theJLAgroup.com.

UPDATE: Due to the project bids coming in $1 million over estimated cost, CPW Commissioners have decided to table this project and go in a different direction.

Check out our newly painted tank on Boatner St. in New Ellenton completed on August 27, 2020.  It turned out great!!!
