1954年1月，该地区的供水系统提供了水，但使这一发展成为可能的人的集中努力始于1949年或更早。1950年秋天，辛普森维尔和喷泉旅馆的主要市民与格林维尔市自来水厂的负责人约翰·霍金斯以及格林维尔县规划和发展委员会的代表举行了几次会议。这些会议的结果是，辛普森维尔镇和喷泉旅馆将共同赞助一项工程研究，以确定地区供水系统的可行性。1951年1月，博莱克和威奇公司受聘准备这项可行性研究。在对该项目的实地调查结束时，很明显，拟议的地区具有吸引工业的所有要求，除了充足的供水。拟议中的地区从格林维尔南部城市边界向南延伸15英里，在整个距离内，276号高速公路和一条平行的铁路为皮埃蒙特高原地区一些最好的工业基地提供了良好的交通。这个地区只缺水，天然气正在供应。该地区现有的开发项目包括位于格林维尔市边界以南约5英里的莫尔丁镇、距格林维尔9英里的辛普森维尔镇和距格林维尔13英里的喷泉旅馆镇。虽然Simpsonville和Fountain Inn有市政井供应，但Mauldin的居民使用的是私人井，这些井的容量都很小，而且历史上寿命很短，容量不断减少。这些研究确定，从格林维尔市自来水厂供水是解决水问题最可行的办法。与格林维尔公共工程委员会的谈判开始了，该委员会同意向该地区提供供水服务。
Water was made available through the district's system in January 1954, but the concentrated effort of the persons who made this development possible began in 1949 or earlier. In the fall of 1950, leading citizens of Simpsonville and Fountain Inn, S.C., had several conferences with John Hawkins, superintendent of the Greenville city water works, and with representatives of the Greenville County Planning and Development Board. As a result of these conferences, it was decided that the towns of Simpsonville and Fountain Inn would serve as joint sponsors of an engineering study to determine the feasibility of a district water system. In January 1951, the firm of Black and Veatch was retained to prepare this feasibility study. At the conclusion of its field investigations for this project, it was apparent that the proposed district had all of the requirements for the attraction of industry except an adequate water supply. The proposed district extended 15 miles south of the southern city limits of Greenville, and, for this entire distance, Highway 276 and a parallel railroad provided excellent transportation to some of the finest industrial sites in the Piedmont Plateau area. Natural gas was being made available to the area which left only water lacking. The existing development within the district included the town of Mauldin, approximately 5 miles south of the Greenville city limits, the town of Simpsonville, 9£ miles from Greenville, and the town of Fountain Inn, 13 $ miles below Greenville. Although Simpsonville and Fountain Inn had municipal well supplies, the residents of Mauldin were served by private wells, all of which were of very small capacity and had histories of short life and decreasing capacity. The studies determined that a supply from the Greenville city water works offered the most feasible solution to the water problem. Negotiations were started with the Greenville Commission of Public Works, and that board gave its consent to provision of water service to the district.
