BOIL WATER ADVISORY
Pioneer Rural Water District

Pioneer Rural Water District advises residents in the Fair Play area—north of Interstate I-85 along Highway 243, East Fair Play Boulevard between Whitfield Road and Snow Hill Road—to boil their water as a precaution.

This advisory includes customers located on and around Highway 243, including Ruby Drive, Boulden Road, and Mickie Drive, in both Anderson and Oconee Counties, South Carolina.

Due to a water main break in this area, water service has been temporarily interrupted while repairs are being completed. As a precaution, all affected customers are advised to vigorously boil water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking until further notice.

Once repairs are complete and water service is restored, Pioneer Rural Water District will conduct bacteriological testing. The advisory will be lifted only after laboratory results confirm that the water is safe to drink.

Additional precautions:

• Do not consume ice made from water that has not been boiled.

• Pioneer Rural Water District is actively working to repair the main break and restore normal service as quickly as possible. Updates, including notice of when the advisory is lifted, will be posted on our website at www.pioneerwater.net.

If you have any questions, please contact us at (864) 972-3082. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to serve you.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 23, 2025

Pioneer Water District Announces Water Rate Adjustment Effective July 1, 2025. 

Pioneer Water District will implement a scheduled adjustment to water rates effective July 1, 2025, to support ongoing infrastructure improvements, rising operational costs, and long-term service reliability.

The monthly base rate will increase from $33.80 to $34.75, and the usage rate will increase from $5.80 to $6.55 per 1,000 gallons. Our flat fee tiered system will remain the same. You may refer to our website for our new fee schedule.

These changes are necessary to maintain the quality and dependability of our water system.  We understand the importance of affordable service and have worked to keep this adjustment as minimal as possible while addressing the increasing costs of operations, maintenance, and future planning.

The rate increase was approved by the Pioneer Water District Board of Directors following a detailed financial review to ensure continued investment in infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and system sustainability.

Customers with questions about the rate change are encouraged to call customer service at 864-972-3082
