Charlotte Water Interbasin Transfer

Charlotte Water is seeking to modify their Interbasin Transfer (IBT). This would increase the maximum limit of permitted withdrawal from the Catawba River and increase discharge into the Rocky River (that feeds into South Carolina’s Pee Dee River Basin). 

Charlotte Water will be having two public meetings in South Carolina:

- Tuesday, June 25, 2024 | 6 PM to 8 PM | Revolutionary War Visitor Center, Liberty Hall - 212 Broad Street, Camden     
- Thursday, June 27, 2024 | 6 PM to 8 PM | Francis Marion University, Chapman Auditorium - 4800 E. Heyward Drive, Florence

If you would like more information please email SWQuantity@dhec.sc.gov
