Exciting News: RRWQG Featured in GVL Today!
We’re excited to share that our conservation efforts have been spotlighted in a recent edition of GVL Today’s daily newsletter! This is a fantastic opportunity to help raise awareness about the importance of taking care of our local river and how YOU can make a positive impact.
What’s the Big News? Our public outreach committee had the honor of sharing tips with the community on how to keep our river clean, safe, and thriving for future generations. From simple daily habits to more hands-on ways to get involved, there’s a lot we can all do to protect this vital waterway that connects us all.
Additionally, this feature announced a new public survey that any Greenville County resident can complete for the chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card! This survey is aimed at assessing public knowledge about water conservation so be sure to give it a look using this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cleanwater

The Reedy River is getting healthier, and opportunities remain for one of the Upstate’s most recognized water bodies, according to a recent report card released by the Reedy River Water Quality Group (RRWQG), a local consortium of public and not-for-profit entities that monitors the watershed. The RRWQG and its member organizations partner with state and federal regulators to both reduce the effects of pollution and improve the public’s awareness and advocacy of the river’s health. It releases a “report card” every three years to update the community on its shared progress to protect the river. [Read more…]
In February over 70 stakeholders came together in a virtual room to learn about the latest RRWQG efforts. Enjoy the presentations from each committee by clicking the project scope image below to see the entire zoom meeting. We’ve come a long way and have been steadily moving forward even in the middle of a pandemic. Kudos to all involved! See individual committee PDF presentations below. [Read more…]
Due to eroding stream banks that included a recently exposed ReWa sanitary sewer line, Greenville County conducted a stream stabilization demonstration project on Brushy Creek. The erosion was located just upstream of a real-time County water quality monitoring station, providing a means to quantify potential reductions in sediment and nutrients due to various forms of erosion control BMPs. Partially located within municipal limits of the City of Greenville, the City and ReWa provided staff support and co-funded the construction costs with the County.
The 2025 Reedy River report card reveals completed projects that have improved water quality and emphasizes the need for continued efforts as the area grows. Special thanks to WYFF for highlighting the 2025 Reedy River Report Card https://www.wyff4.com/article/2025-reedy-river-water-report/70973766
