The Pendleton-Clemson Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is getting a major upgrade to meet the growing needs of Pendleton, Clemson, and Anderson.
The project will increase treatment capacity from 2 to 5 million gallons per day and introduce Activated Granular Sludge technology — a state-of-the-art system that improves water quality, reduces harmful particles, and benefits Lake Hartwell by limiting nutrient pollution.
The project also includes new pump stations and sewer line replacements to improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Leaders say the upgrade prepares the region for major population and commercial growth.
Completion is expected by 2026, with the Town of Central potentially joining the regional system in the future.
