The Ninety Six Commission of Public Works has been serving the Ninety Six area since the early 1900’s.  Working closely with the Town of Ninety Six, the Commission has owned operated and maintained an array of utilities including electric, water and wastewater systems.  The Commission has been responsible for numerous amenities used by the town and its residents.  Among these has been the installation of streetlights for convenience and safety and one of the area's first fluoride systems for public water.

Currently, the Ninety Six Commission of Public Works owns, operates and maintains nearly 40 miles of gravity sewer and force main sewer lines.  These lines make their way through a combination of 13 pump stations to one of two treatment plants that have a combined permit of nearly 600,000 gallons per day.  Also owned and maintained are nearly 45 miles of waterlines and 220 fire hydrants that provide water for approximately 1500 accounts.

The Commission consists of three publicly elected Commissioners that serve six-year terms.  Each year the Commission nominates and appoints a Chairman to oversee the business of the Commission.
