Mayor Lethonia Barnes and City Manager Scotty Davis sit down with us for a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation about what’s really happening inside Florence’s water system — and more importantly, what’s being done about it. From iron-rich aquifers to construction disturbances, they break down the science, the safety standards, and the long-term fix in plain English.

With more than $200 million committed to water, sewer, and stormwater upgrades through 2045, city leadership is putting real investment behind real solutions — modernizing plants, expanding capacity, and using smart technology to keep Florence growing the right way.
