For Fiscal Year 2023, the District has in place a Capital Improvement Plan designed to build on the capital repair and replacement program in place as well as make system improvements. The District continues to expand the water and wastewater systems throughout Georgetown County in response to growth and to community need. The District will continue to seek appropriate grant funding for additional improvements and renewal in FY2023. Modest increases in developer activity are expected to lead to contributions of completed water distribution and sewer collection systems from the development of both residential and commercial properties.

The Georgetown County Water and Sewer District’s focus in the past has been building the infrastructure necessary to support the industrial and population growth in Georgetown County. The District remains committed to supporting future growth and is now purposefully maintaining the existing system and planning for the capital repair and replacement of the aging infrastructure.
