The bill, H. 5490, is a House Resolution that congratulates Spartanburg Water's Landrum Drinking Water Treatment Plant for receiving the "Best Tasting Water" award in South Carolina at the annual South Carolina Environmental Conference held from March 15-18, 2026. The Landrum plant was recognized for its exceptional water quality after competing against fourteen other drinking water utilities in a blind taste test judged by water professionals from the U.S. and Canada. This accolade highlights the dedication and excellence of the Spartanburg Water team, which includes operators, laboratory staff, and maintenance crews who work together to ensure high standards of water quality.

Additionally, the resolution notes that the Landrum facility will represent South Carolina in the competition for the overall best tasting water in North America at the 2026 American Water Works Association's ACE Conference in Washington, D.C. Spartanburg Water serves a population of nearly 240,000 across Spartanburg County and parts of neighboring counties, producing an average of 25 million gallons of drinking water daily. The resolution concludes by commending Spartanburg Water for its commitment to providing safe and reliable water to its customers and expresses the House's intention to present a copy of the resolution to Guy Boyle, the chief executive officer of Spartanburg Water.
