SENECA, S.C. -- The Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority team will join with the rest of the state next week to observe the first Water Professionals Day.
State House members have officially declared the first Monday in March of each year as Water Professionals Day beginning with the first observance on Monday, March 4, 2024, and continuing annually on the first Monday of March.
With the passing of this legislation, professionals working in all areas of the wastewater, drinking water, and stormwater industries are honored for their dedication to serving the communities and residents of South Carolina.
