Customers get a blend of water

Customers of Pioneer Rural Water of Oconee-Anderson are being served with a blend of treated lake water – some of it from Lake Hartwell, some of it from Lake Keowee.  As it was explained at an Oakway meeting today, “M-I-B” has a distinct earthly or musty odor.  Buying water from nearby Seneca, Pioneer is able to offset the intrusion of a taste or odor that some people can easily smell. Pioneer treats water from Lake Hartwell and Seneca treats water from Lake Keowee.
