Ever wonder about the source of our drinking water? Ever wonder about what happens to all that poop and urine we humans make on a daily basis? Ever wonder about when these basic sanitation and health challenges started being dealt with by local governments? If so, do we have a local history program - intentionally close to World Water Day - for you.
Join us for "The History of the Beaufort Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, 1954 - " presented by BJWSA's own Director of Technology and Innovation Tricia Kilgore. Come learn about the circumstances of water and sewage services before 1954, where your water comes from now, why it comes from there, where it goes when you are done with it, and what it has in common with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
This Beaufort History Museum/ Beaufort County Library local history program will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 2:00 PM in the St. Helena Branch Library, located at 6355 Jonathan Francis Sr. Road. Space is limited. First come; first seated. Doors will open for seating at 1:30 pm.
