ECU celebrated Naturaland Trust's acquisition of the 1,090-acres Saluda Bluff alongside state and local conservation groups.

“As a water utility, land conservation is intuitive. It’s much more cost effective for us to protect

drinking water at the source, than to treat it later,” commented Andy Sevic, general manager, Easley

Combined Utilities. “That’s why we have invested more than $1.0 million in land protection in the

Upcountry, including $500,000 in the acquisition of this property.”
