You Live in Polk County, NC The Inman-Campobello Water District (ICWD) is able to provide water service to the unincorporated portions of Polk County NC via an agreement between Polk County, the ICWD, and the Broad River Water Authority (BRWA). The BRWA, located in Rutherford County, is the supplier of wholesale drinking water to the ICWD and to Polk County. The supply line from BRWA to the ICWD, which was constructed in 2008, runs through Polk County. The completion of this line made water service available to many where there had been little chance of public water service being available before. Since the completion of the “supply” line, Polk County has installed additional water lines in the Green Creek portion of Polk County. All of these water lines are owned by Polk County but are maintained and serviced by the ICWD. The reason for this is that Polk County does not have a water department. Having the necessary equipment, employees and expertise for a water department would obviously add an expense to Polk County and considering the current number of customers, this expense would be difficult to cover by water revenue alone. As a result, the ICWD provides water service to all customers in Polk County and Spartanburg County with the same water rates, fees, etc. In fact, the only difference between current customers that live in Polk County versus customers within Spartanburg County is that the Polk County logo and the title of “Polk County Water Department” are included on all correspondence with Polk County customers. In essence, the ICWD is the water department for Polk County. The ICWD is glad to provide this service as we believe this partnership makes sense for Polk County and for the ICWD. Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions, concerns, or suggestions. We are here to serve you!
