HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (October 21, 2025) – Hilton Head Public Service District (PSD) will conduct smoke testing and manhole inspections of its sanitary sewer system over a two-week period starting Nov. 3, weather permitting. The work will occur in the Bradley Beach Road, Burkes Beach, Bradley Circle, Singleton Beach, Indigo Run, and Hilton Head Plantation neighborhoods. In Indigo Run, the work will include Colonial Drive and the Indigo Hall areas, and in Hilton Head Plantation it will include the Crooked Pond area.
The testing is performed to identify any breaks in the sanitary sewer system, uncapped cleanouts, and unauthorized connections, and to prevent infiltration of stormwater into the sanitary sewer system. It is a best-practice of sewer system maintenance. The smoke used is odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable, and is not harmful to people, pets, or house plants. It does not create fire hazards and does not stain clothes, drapes, or furniture. Hilton Head Fire Rescue is notified of the testing.
