Family Offers Reward One Year After Greenville Water Worker’s On-the-Job Death

Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, September 7, 2026 —

A year has passed since Cesar Pena, an employee of Greenville Water, died while on the job in Greenville County, South Carolina. In response to the lack of accountability for his death, Pena’s family has announced they are offering a $1,000 reward for information that could lead to further developments in the case.

The incident occurred one year ago, and the family has voiced significant frustration regarding the ongoing lack of resolution. They are seeking to encourage the public to come forward with any pertinent details related to Pena’s fatal incident.

Specific details regarding the circumstances of Cesar Pena’s death, including the exact date of the incident, the nature of his work at the time, or the specific factors that contributed to the fatality, were not provided in the available information. Consequently, the nature of the ‘accountability’ the family is seeking remains unspecified in public reports.

The contractor’s name, if any were involved, was not provided. Furthermore, any investigations, permit status, inspection outcomes, code violations, fine amounts, or subsequent actions taken following the incident were not detailed. The family’s action underscores their desire for answers and closure over a year after the tragedy.

The family hopes that the financial incentive will prompt individuals with knowledge of the events to share what they know with authorities or the family directly. The $1,000 reward is intended to assist in uncovering information that may shed light on the incident and potentially lead to accountability.
