Do your kids know about summertime safety? Yesterday, Greer Police Department and Greer Fire Departments participated in the Summer Safety Social in partnership with Target! Kids got to learn about bike and pool safety for the upcoming summer season and got some awesome prizes for testing their knowledge.
Be on the lookout for more partnerships with Target along with Greer Fire and Greer PD!
In the wake of the water transmission line that was damaged a few days ago, we have some good news! Multiple city facilities have now had their waterlines flushed and water filters replaced.

City Park outdoor restrooms and drinking fountains have also been turned back on.
Thank you to Greer CPW for their hard work so far in getting the damaged waterline repaired!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and the City of Greer is showing our support! This past Wednesday, was “Be Seen in Green Day” for us, which helps bring awareness to mental health by wearing the color green. Green is the official color for mental health awareness and represents renewal, hope, and vitality. Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will experience a diagnosable mental health condition this year? If you see someone struggling with their mental health, please reach out to them and try to offer support. We can all make a difference in someone’s life or our own if we join together and advocate for one another.
Just a friendly notice to all City of Greer residents that trash service will run 1 day behind normal schedule due to Memorial Day next week. The Convenience Center will also be closed on Monday. We hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
Today is International Building Safety Day and we want to take the time to highlight our Building & Development Standards team! The BDS team is responsible for upholding the different building codes of Greer’s many businesses, government buildings, homes, and facilities. Without their efforts, we wouldn’t have the safe and reliable structures that we use every day. They're like the foundation that holds Greer together (see what I did there?). 😎 Thank you to everyone on the BDS team for all that you do!
