The Charleston Water Department today announced an essential maintenance project on the city’s water storage tanks, scheduled to begin in March 2026.
The multi-week project is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the continued reliability and safety of the municipal water supply for all Charleston residents and businesses.
The comprehensive maintenance work will focus on the city’s water storage infrastructure and is
expected to last several weeks. Charleston Water officials emphasize that the project is a routine
but critical component of maintaining the integrity of the city’s water system.
What Customers Should Know

pressure. These fluctuations are expected to be temporary and will not affect water availability or
quality.
“Water will remain safe to drink throughout the entire project,” confirmed Charleston Water
Department officials. “We are committed to minimizing any disruption to service while performing
this important infrastructure work.”
The department will work diligently to complete the project as efficiently as possible while
