Plumbing outside Mount Pleasant Waterworks' core
Mount Pleasant Waterworks built its first municipal water system in 1935, decades before Awendaw incorporated as a town in 1992, and much of Awendaw's wooded land still falls outside that utility's core service area.
What that means for water source and pipe work
A lot of Awendaw properties rely on private wells rather than municipal water, which changes pressure, treatment, and pipe-sizing decisions compared with a job inside Mount Pleasant Waterworks' deep-well and Charleston Water System-supplied grid.

What to include
Tell us if the property is on a private well, roughly how old the plumbing is, and what's prompting the call — a repair, a fixture change, or new work.
Confirm the water source
Well water in the Awendaw area should be tested and treated appropriately before any fixture or repiping work is finalized; confirm current well condition with a licensed provider.
