Bryan County is hiring a new Water and Sewer Director. Bryan County is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States due to its proximity to Atlantic Coast, ports, and to Savannah, Georgia. Bryan County is unique in that it is completely bisected by Fort Stewart and because of this, has County facilities in two locations. Bryan County’s transportation infrastructure includes Interstates 95 and 16 that create easy access to the cities of Richmond Hill in the southern portion and Pembroke, the county seat, in the north. Five county district commissioners and a countywide Chairman are elected as Bryan County’s governing authority to serve a four-year term. Bryan County’s day-to-day operations are overseen by a County Administrator who is appointed by the Commission. The 2023 annual budget is $261 million with over $150 million dedicated to water and sewer infrastructure due to the current rapid industrial expansion with the announcement of a Hyundai Electric Vehicle Metaplant. The incoming Hyundai plant, in addition to other large warehouse and production industries, is estimated to bring over 10000 jobs which will also spur residential growth in the area along Interstate 16. The unincorporated area in northern Bryan County is largely rural and is expected to grow quickly. This growth necessitates a new membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant, new wells in an adjacent county, and required pipelines to expand for the needs of Hyundai and others. The engineering and construction bids for some of these projects have been completed. The total in planned improvements by 2024 is $300 million in infrastructure investment for water and sewer. This system will continue to expand to keep up with the current growth. The Southern portion of Bryan County, including Richmond Hill, is also expanding with residential, commercial, and residential properties. Bryan County has an approved sewer agreement to redirect flow to a Richmond Hill water treatment plant and a new line is in the works for this purpose. As more subdivisions are constructed, considerations for integration with Richmond Hill and Bryan County infrastructure will need assessment. Bryan County is growing and has developed plans to ensure that water and sewer availability keep up with the demand. The Water and Sewer Director is responsible for managing the operations and maintenance of the County water and sewer systems infrastructure and treatment facilities, including but not limited to, water wells and associated distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, lift stations and related sewer collection systems infrastructure. The Water & Sewer Director reports to the County Administrator with daily work coordination through the Director of Engineering.
