Water Treatment in South Carolina

In South Carolina, public water systems are regulated by South Carolina's state environmental and public-health agencies under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, and utilities must publish an annual water-quality report. Coastal and Lowcountry groundwater can carry salt and iron, while inland wells vary in hardness. Private wells are not covered by those federal rules, so the EPA and CDC recommend testing your own water at least once a year. Match a filter, softener, or reverse-osmosis system to what your test shows.
