Thank you to everyone who participated in the Hilton Head Public Service District (PSD) 2018 Customer Satisfaction Survey.
This was the first year we included the survey in our monthly billing, and we received an all-time record number of responses. The previous high for survey responses was 400 — a 3.2% response rate.
The 2018 Survey received a whopping 1,385 responses — an 11.3% response rate!
More good news: By including the survey in our monthly bill mailing, rather than sending it out as a separate mailing, we saved roughly $9,000. Those savings help keep costs down for our customers.
The PSD is proud to report that respondents gave us an overall approval rating of 96%, and a 97% Customer Service approval rating. Thank you for the great feedback!
Some of our favorite comments:
- “Kudos to your service crews. They come quickly, are courteous and know how to fix problems.”
- “Your office personnel are the most congenial and friendly of any business on HHI.”
- “The PSD communicates its plans and initiatives well, and cares about informing its customers.”
- “Never had a problem in my 40 years here! Thank you!”
