Please Help Prevent Sewer Backups
The Brunswick-Glynn County Joint Water & Sewer Commission maintains the public sewer system in Glynn County. We make every possible effort to prevent sewer backups and overflows in the system but some of that effort is up to you as well. Please help fight sewer backups by following a few simple steps:

Soak up remaining oils...
