2030 Plan - Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority

Re-pumping - 55 re-pumping stations receive wastewater from one or more subdivision
pump stations. Many receive wastewater from only one or two other pump stations.
However, several regional re-pumping stations serve much larger areas.
c. Land Application
Land application of treated wastewater and sludge by-products from water and
wastewater treatment processes are a major component of GSWSA’s disposal strategy.
As regulations and criteria for discharges directly into rivers become more stringent,
alternative disposal strategies are critical to finding cost effective and environmentally
compatible disposal methods. GSWSA has developed effluent and sludge management
plans for over 9,000 acres of land throughout Horry County.
