Note: This is an updated post to correct erroneous information given previously.

If the tree endangers power or sewer lines, call your local utility authority at the following numbers:

S.C. Electric & Gas – 866-879-6003

Palmetto Electric – 866-445-5551

Beaufort/Jasper Water & Sewer Authority – 843-987-9200
