From Wells to Well-Traveled – the Route of Charleston Water System
In 1879, the Charleston Water Works Company was founded to provide the City of
Charleston, South Carolina water from a system of deep artesian wells. By 1903, that supply was inadequate, so the Charleston Light and Water Company was formed, with a reservoir built at Goose Creek and a pumping station in nearby Hanahan. In 1917, what is now Charleston Water System was created when the City bought the water system assets. Today, the utility serves more than 107,000 "Lowcountry" water customers over an area that includes the downtown/Peninsula, North Charleston, Goose Creek, Johns Island, James
Island, West Ashley, and Daniel Island.
