Annual Water Main Flushing Program
BJWSA and Broad Creek and Hilton Head PSDs to conduct annual water main flushing program.
These three utilities will temporarily change the drinking water treatment method and flush water lines throughout their service areas for a two-week period starting October 20 through November 3.
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, October 20 through Friday, November 3.
Customers in some areas may notice brief discoloration in the tap water as a result of lines being flushed. If water appears discolored, customers should run cold water for a few minutes. If discoloration persists, BJWSA customers can call (843) 987-9200, Hilton Head PSD customers can call (843) 681-5525 and Broad Creek PSD customers can call (843) 785-7582.
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.
