Application to Establish a New Account.

Existing Connections

Applications for water and sewer service through an existing connection can be made online, by phone to 843-987-9200 or in person at 6 Snake Road in Okatie. Please submit applications at least 3 business days prior to the requested date for service to begin. If applying online, your service establishment won't be complete until we contact you and a confirmation number is given. We will respond to your request within 3 business days. 

The following information will be requested when applying for service:

  •     The exact service address of the location
  •     Full name of applicant 
  •     Complete billing address and contact phone numbers
  •     The applicant’s social security number or Federal Tax Id
  •     Date of birth of applicant 
  •     The applicant’s driver’s license number & state of issuance.
  •     Requested date for service to begin 
  •     A lease may be requested to show proof of new tenant 

In order for BJWSA to begin water service at a location, the customers plumbing should be in working condition and all faucets and spigots in the off position. In the event that a water meter indicates that water may be on in the location and no one is available at the location, BJWSA will not be able to connect the water service and may not be able to return until the next business day. BJWSA will assume no responsibility for any damages resulting from water being turned on.   

New Connections

Commercial, multi-family, or subdivision requests for new connections must be made through BJWSA’s Engineering Department and in accordance with the Development Policy and Procedure Manual.  

Single service residential requests for new connections are initiated through our website. New customers need to complete an availability request online. Within 7 business days we will determine if services are available and if so provide a quote of fees due including meter fees and capacity fees. Applicants are notified in writing if services are not available.
