Hilton Head PSD is constructing a set of projects that will create water supply and resiliency for generations to come!
1. Expansion of the PSD’s Reverse Osmosis (“R.O.”) Drinking Water Treatment Facility Capacity, from 4 million gallons a day of drinking water to 6 million gallons a day. The project includes drilling an additional groundwater well for the plant and adding an emergency power generator.
2. Constructing a 2nd Aquifer Storage & Recovery (“A.S.R.”) Well. The well stores 260 million gallons of drinking water in the island’s groundwater aquifer system in the winter months of lower demand, and then re-treats and distributes 2 millon gallons a day of drinking water in the spring and summer months of higher demand. It is an incredible asset for hurricane recovery.
3. Construction of a new Water Booster Pumping Station. The station will replace pumps that have been in service for more than 40 years. It will provide pressure for the drinking water distribution system.
These projects are funded in part by a $10-million grant from the State of South Carolina and a $1-million grant from Beaufort County. Pete Nardi, General Manager Hilton Head Public Service District (PSD) 843-681-5525 http://www.HHPSD.com
