NORTH CHARLESTON SEWER DISTRICT
The present North Charleston Sewer District was established in 1972 by an Act of the South
Carolina Legislature. Previously, wastewater collection and treatment in the North Area
were accomplished by a consolidated public service district. Now operating under a
nine-member Commission, the District is committed to "...construction, operation,
maintenance and enlargement of...sewers and sewage treatment and disposal...necessary to
protect the health of those living in the District, and to provide for the collection,
treatment and disposal of sewage and industrial effluent."
To achieve these objectives, the District presently
owns almost 527 miles of sewer lines, 59 pump stations, and the Felix C. Davis
Wastewater Treatment Plant, located near the Cooper River on Herbert Street in Charleston.
