Water Treatment inGeorgetown County, SC
Georgetown County water is mostly Black Creek aquifer groundwater. The City of Georgetown and Georgetown County Water and Sewer District both treat that source for their service connections. On Pawleys Island and across the rural inland parcels, private wells are still common, drawing from the same Black Creek system with the hardness and occasional iron that comes with it. Naturally occurring radium has been documented in parts of the upper Coastal Plain aquifer system, which is why we run a full panel before sizing any drinking-water system in the county.
