Residents are strongly encouraged to utilize certified water filtration systems.

Over the past 5 years, Hartsville has recorded 3 health-based violations. While occasional violations can occur due to seasonal changes or temporary infrastructure issues, Hartsville-trousdale W&s U.d. is legally required to resolve these quickly and notify the public via their annual Consumer Confidence Report.
