Sewer Summit III

The Hilton Head PSD Commission and the Hilton Head Town Council got together this week for Sewer Summit III -- a joint meeting to discuss the two organizations' continued partnership in providing sewer service to the approximately 1,200 PSD customers who remain without access to the public sewer system.

The partnership so far has involved joint funding of projects, locating sewer pump stations on Town properties, right-of-way acquisitions for sewer projects, and policies aimed at discouraging the use of septic systems that are ill-suited for the island's high groundwater table.
