Phase I - AESC Offsite Water Improvement
The City of Florence in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Commerce, and Florence County is collaborating to install a new 24-inch water line in support of AESC’s establishment in Florence, SC. The scope of this work involves the installation of a new 24-inch water line of approximately 8,214 linear feet to connect to the existing 30-inch water main at the intersection of Old Marion Highway and East Ashby Road.
The first phase of the new water line installation will terminate along Estate/Koppers Road at the southernmost driveway entrance into the new AESC facility. To date, the project contractor, Complete Utilities, has installed approximately 2,000 linear feet of the new 24-inch water line.
The second phase of the work will include the connection of the new 24-inch water line to the existing 30-inch water line along North Williston Road just south of the Palmetto Paving facility location, which will also involve installing approximately 500 linear feet of the new 24-inch water line along the new Energy Drive to serve the AESC training center.
The project schedule currently has this scope of work being completed and operational by December 2024.
The anticipated cost for the first phase is $3,440,320.00 and is funded through a collective agreement among the South Carolina Department of Commerce, Florence County, and the City of Florence.
