Notice of Public Meeting on April 17, 2023 -- Hazard Mitigation Plan

Metropolitan Sewer Subdistrict d/b/a/ MetroConnects (“MetroConnects”) and Renewable Water Resources (“ReWa”) are committed to protecting health and clean water. Critical to both organizations is preparing for natural and human-made hazards. MetroConnects and ReWa need the public’s input to develop a Hazard Mitigation Plan (“HMP”) to proactively address hazards (e.g., flooding) that pose a risk to wastewater services in the areas that these organizations serve. ReWa and MetroConnects are working together to create a joint HMP because of the interdependency of their services. The goals of the HMP are to:

1.         Develop a long-term strategy for reducing disaster damage, reconstruction, and repetitive damage to the infrastructure critical for wastewater service in the community;

2.         Unlock millions of dollars in potential funding for hazard mitigation and resilience measures that can generate benefits for the community; and

3.         Identify and prioritize projects that can help prevent service disruptions to our customers before, during, and after natural and human-made events.

As part of the federal regulations and guidance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), MetroConnects is seeking input from the public during the planning process, including those from underserved and socially vulnerable populations. We invite members of the public to the meeting of the Operations Committee of the MetroConnects Commission at 1:00 p.m. on April 17, 2023, at MetroConnects’ business offices at 120 Augusta Arbor Way, Greenville, SC 29605. Your attendance and input are welcomed and appreciated.

MetroConnects and ReWa also welcome your feedback through a survey, which will be available on MetroConnects’ website (www.MetroConnects.org) and at the MetroConnects reception desk at 120 Augusta Arbor Way, Greenville, SC 29605 starting on April 17, 2023.
