Dependable wastewater collection is critical for our community. The JIPSD Wastewater Department is responsible for maintaining the public wastewater collection system serving more than 13,000 customers. Over 1 billion gallons of sewage pass through the JIPSD’s wastewater system annually.
Wastewater services are provided without a single penny of tax dollars from residents. The Wastewater Department operates on income received from wastewater bill payments. The money is used to purchase tools and equipment needed to maintain the system, including vehicles and machinery.
After-hour sewer emergency responders and online bill payment processing allow the Wastewater Department to be at your service 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Projects Under Construction:
PS-1 Downgrade/Conversion Project WW2017-2 SRF 543-18:
1. PS-1 has been in operational service for a month without any issues or concerns. The new fencing is essentially complete but for installation of a few fasteners; the remote fate operator is scheduled to be installed on the 14th. ProPumps is scheduled to install a replacement SCADA tower antenna section to replace a section that was slightly bent during initial installation.
2. A final close-out Punch-List inspection is being scheduled either on the 15th or 16th depending on completion of all remaining work.
3. Administrative close-out items include submittal and approval of the Contractor’s record as-built drawings, final contract administrative submittals, and receipt of an unconditional SCDHEC Permit to Operate. Final payment and contract close-out should occur before the end of April.
