The Master Plan identifies nine program elements that are to be addressed by the utility. They are:

Requirements concerning Stormwater Systems are found in the Counties Zoning and Development Standards Ordinance and the design criteria found in our
Best Management Practices Manual.
The Utility partners with four Municipalities in the County through inter local agreements. Drainage efforts within these municipalities are supported through fees collected by the County. 95% of the fees that are collected within a municipality’s jurisdiction, is then distributed back to the municipality. If you have a drainage concern in the Town of Hilton Head Island, the Town of Bluffton, the Town of Port Royal, or the City of Beaufort please contact the towns/city. They will coordinate with the Utility if we can be of support.
