Dear Residents and Friends of Sullivan's Island: 

This month we will see significant progress on the Ben Sawyer Bridge Project as the new span
is installed.  Please take advantage of the many special events and opportunities planned during
the bridge closure, including the Party in the Park and the Fire & Rescue Oyster Roast.  
 
Your Water and Sewer Department will intermittently flush hydants this month and issue
"Nixle" alerts to give you advance notice. If you have not already done so, please register today
for the Emergency/Public Safety Alerts, and encourage your neighbors to do the same.  As always,
please check our website frequently for updated information.
