Okatie, SC [July 14, 2017] – Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) announced today that the latest water sample analyses indicate the water in Habersham is free from bacteria and is safe for human consumption.
The boil advisory for Habersham is now suspended.
The precautionary advisory to boil water used for drinking or cooking was issued July 13 because of a water main break.
