We continue today to add food grade Polyphosphate to the water supply to minimize discolored (Red) water. In addition, we have replaced/rehabbed approximately 58,500 linear feet of water main and 25,000 feet of service lines. Sullivan’s Island does not have any lead service lines in our system. We still have approximately 21,000 feet of Cast Iron water mains that need to be replaced. Each year our goal is to replace approximately 1,000 feet. We have resumed this replacement program in 2023.
