Annual water distribution system chlorination set

Hilton Head PSD, in conjunction with the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority and Broad Creek Public Service District, will temporarily change the drinking water treatment method and flush water mains from October 29 through November 12. The change is part of the routine maintenance program for the utilities’ water distribution systems. There will be no interruption in service as a result of the work.

Customers can use their water as normal but may notice a slight chlorine taste or odor in the tap water beginning Friday, Oct. 29, through Friday, Nov. 12. Customers in some areas may notice brief discoloration in the tap water as a result of mains being flushed. If water appears discolored, customers should run cold water for a few minutes. If discoloration persists, customers can contact Hilton Head PSD at (843) 681-5525 or [email protected].

Customers who are especially sensitive to the taste and odor of chlorine can keep an open container of drinking water in their refrigerators. This will reduce the chlorine taste. Water stored in refrigerated containers should be changed weekly.
