RICHBURG WATER TANK

This is a 750,000 gallon elevated water tank located in Richburg, South Carolina.

The project has an estimated cost of about $1.8 million.

This is being funded by a $330,000 Rural Infrastructure Grant from the Department of Commerce, a $1.2 million EDA grant and $350,000 to be provided by Chester County.

This new tank will provide increased water pressure and volume flow in the Richburg area. It will also improve fire protection capability to the surrounding private homes and industry.

The tank should also provide a plus in the recruitment of new industry to this area of the County.
