Public meeting scheduled for July 30 to update Sampit residents on sewer project
July 23, 2026
Georgetown County Water and Sewer District will hold a public meeting on Thursday, July 30, at 6 p.m. at Southern Georgetown Library, 4187 Powell Road, to share updates on the Sampit Community Sewer Installation project.
The meeting will give residents an opportunity to learn more about the first phase of the project, ask questions and offer public comment. Engineers with Thomas & Hutton are expected to present the project timeline and design renderings for Phase 1. 
The Sampit Community Sewer Installation project is one of several Georgetown County Water and Sewer District projects included in the voter-approved Capital Project Sales Tax program. The project is listed as a priority project and is allocated $13,302,650 in CPST funding.
Georgetown County voters approved the 1% Capital Project Sales Tax during the November 2024 general election. The tax began collecting May 1, 2025, and is scheduled to remain in place for eight years. County information states that the tax will help fund 22 voter-approved capital projects, including water and sewer improvements in rural areas, as well as a new emergency operations center. If collections exceed what is needed to complete the priority list, remaining revenue may be directed to approved contingency projects.
For Sampit residents, the upcoming meeting is a chance to hear directly from the project team before work moves further into design and implementation. Sewer projects of this scale can temporarily affect roads, property access and long-term utility service, making public input an important part of the planning process.
Residents who live in the Sampit community or who have questions about the sewer installation are encouraged to attend the July 30 meeting, review the proposed design information and share comments with project representatives.
