Hilton Head Public Service District (PSD) has earned the 5-Year Directors Award from the Partnership for Safe Water for its efforts toward optimization of its drinking water distribution system. The award recognizes the PSD’s ongoing, rigorous self-assessment of its drinking water system. The award is earned via review by utility peers from around the country. PSD Water Quality Supervisor Sarah Hickman leads the self-assessment program.
The Partnership for Safe Water is an alliance of seven, national drinking water organizations, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Water Works Association, and more than 500 water utilities. The goal of the Partnership is to optimize the protection of public health by improving utility performance beyond regulatory requirements.
“The PSD team is committed to providing the highest-quality water to our customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We’re very proud to be members of the Partnership for Safe Water,” said General Manager Pete Nardi. “Earning the peer-reviewed 5-Year Directors Award is recognition of the team’s commitment to quality for our customers and community.”
