Beaufort County Experiences Brown Water
Brown Water Concerns in Beaufort County Highlight the Need for Whole-Home Filtration
Recently, many residents across Beaufort County noticed brown discoloration in their tap water. According to the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA), the issue was caused by manganese stirred up during the cycling of a new high-service pump at the Purrysburg water treatment plant.
While officials explained the water was technically safe to consume, they also acknowledged it carried a bitter taste and could leave behind stains. BJWSA further noted that events like this are not unusual for communities whose water comes from rivers, and future issues could arise from changes in water pressure, velocity, or direction.
For families in Hilton Head, Bluffton, Okatie, and Sun City, the incident is a reminder of how vulnerable our water supply can be. Even when deemed “safe,” discoloration, unwanted tastes, and the potential for stains are not what you want in the water you drink, bathe in, or use for cooking.
