The Wastewater Department is responsible for maintaining the public
wastewater collection system which serves approximately 13,000
retail customers and 1 wholesale customer. The wastewater
collection system consists of gravity pipelines, lift stations
and force mains conveying wastewater to Charleston Water System's
(CWS) Plum Island Treatment Plant. A new initiative for this
Department includes setting up and maintaining an ongoing
program to reduce inflow/infiltration into the wastewater
collections system. The
developmental growth on James Island continues to increase
the service area.
Our Wastewater Department maintains 61 pump stations and
7 pump stations for the City of Folly Beach, which are part
of a system that provides collection services to all wastewater
areas of the island, including the Town of James Island, City
of Charleston and City of Folly Beach residents.
