Where to fill up with clean water supplied by Water Missions International

Tanks of clean water are available at 10 locations in Richland County, in addition to numerous bottled water stations, thanks to the Charleston-based Water Missions International.

Water Missions is pumping contaminated water from the city water system through its purification system to make it drinkable. It can purify up to 30,000 gallons a day, representatives said Friday.

Residents can bring their own clean containers to fill up at these stations through 9 p.m. Friday:

Fire Station 4, 446 Spears Creek Church Road

Fire Station 18, 7401 Fairfield Road

Fire Station 29, 121 Old Congaree Run

Fire Station 34, 321 Elders Pond Drive

Columbia Place Mall, 7201 Two Notch Road

1522 Gladden Street, near water tower

Greenview Park, 6700 David Street

Hyatt Park, 950 Jackson Avenue

Heathwood Park, 800 Abelia Road

Southeast Park, 951 Hazelwood Road

Water Missions typically provides its services overseas in third-world countries, representatives said. The last time it offered these services in the U.S., they said, was 10 years ago after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
