About Us

Our Mission

To provide high-quality fire, solid waste, and wastewater services in a cost effective and professional manner.

Our Vision

By 2028, the James Island PSD will be recognized as a model special purpose district, providing excellent services through skillfully trained and well-resourced fire, solid waste, and wastewater service teams.

History

The James Island Public Service District (JIPSD) is a special purpose district created by Act No. 498 of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, Regular Session of 1961, and subsequent Amendments, for the purpose of providing wastewater, solid waste, fire protection and rescue services, street lighting, street name signs on James Island.
The JIPSD provides these services to residents in the unincorporated areas of James Island as well as the residents of the Town of James Island, and some residents of the Cities of Charleston and Folly Beach. The JIPSD operates as a Special Purpose District form of government, with Dave Schaeffer, District Manager, serving as Chief Executive Officer and its Commission consists of 7 elected officials who serve 4-year terms.
