Chatham County is considering a project to bring sanitary sewer service to the Whitemarsh Island community.
If approved, the County would support the design and construction of a community sanitary sewer system and residents would have the option to connect or stay on septic. The residents would be responsible for paying expenses that include (but are not limited to) connection fees and any plumbing upgrades. Residents would also be responsible for monthly utility fees.
We recognize this is a significant investment for the County and the residents. We are exploring financial assistance options, flexible payment plans, and other ways to reduce costs to residents.
Completing this questionnaire does not obligate you in any way to participate in the project. Your feedback helps ensure the project reflects community needs.
