Congratulations to the photographers whose photos are included in our 2024 Customer Calendar. Your creativity in capturing the beauty of our natural resources is apparent on every page.
Dear Friends, During my first full year of leading our incredible team of water professionals here at Spartanburg Water, I have had the opportunity to explore and enjoy with my family, many of the locations across Spartanburg County that make our community a final destination for families from all over the globe. From picturesque locations like Glendale Shoals, to the quiet beauty of Croft State Park and even our very own Spartanburg Water reservoirs, Lake Bowen and Lake Blalock, we are incredibly blessed to be surrounded by natural beauty that captures the attention of locals and visitors alike. Once again this year our customers have done an outstanding job sharing these and other incredible locations and moments through the lenses of their cameras. I am excited to share this year’s winning images in this 2024 Spartanburg Water Customer Calendar. Our team at Spartanburg Water wishes you and your loved ones the very best for this New Year, and we hope you enjoy the fantastic images represented each month in this calendar.
Warmest regards,
Guy F. Boyle Chief Executive Officer Spartanburg Water
