Infrastructure Of SLV
When choosing to live in a rural community like Savannah Lakes Village, infrastructure becomes very important. I know you’ll love finding yourself in a world of wonder with the Sumter National Forest all around you, the lake meandering through the neighborhoods, the wild life plentiful, yet feeling like your living in modern times with all the modern conveniences.
Savannah Lakes offers outstanding infrastructure throughout the village. There are 6 subdivisions within our village all having paved streets, underground utilities, fiber-optic high speed Internet and digital entertainment, as well as county water and sewer. You do not have to give up a thing when you choose to live here.

Fiber-Optic Broadband
All our homes have state-of-the-art technology. The West Carolina Coop offers an extensive range of communication services, including the only major fiber-optic broadband network in South Carolina. In Savannah Lakes Village, every home and home site has fiber optic at the site, ready for connection. The fiber optic broadband currently delivers up to 100MB/sec for enhanced high definition entertainment and blazing fast Internet & Wi-Fi service.

Cellular Service
The best wireless provider for our area is Verizon who provides exceptional service coverage in Savannah Lakes Village, on the lake, and the surrounding region. Most other carriers have spotty coverage over this region of western South Carolina because they have chosen larger cities to focus coverage on. Verizon of Greenwood

As part of the community sewer system, interceptor tanks are installed during home construction process. The interceptor tank is a temporary holding tank for household wastewater that separates solid from liquid wastes and pumps the sewage into the main sewage lines that are then carried to the McCormick Sewage Treatment Plant through a series of lift stations.
