Sea Pines CSA Maintenance Storm Preparedness

Throughout the spring and summer months, our team has concentrated on an extensive series of stormwater system upgrades and preventive maintenance initiatives. These comprehensive efforts are designed to strengthen our drainage infrastructure to effectively manage the intense rainfall that hurricane season often delivers. From systematically clearing debris from storm drains to conducting thorough inspections of critical storm control structures, our team has meticulously addressed every aspect of storm preparedness.

A significant focus for our Maintenance Department has been the ongoing inspection and maintenance of Sea Pines CSA’s 89 acres of managed lagoons. A recent major project involved comprehensive sediment removal from the lagoon system near Harleston Green Road (pictures shown below). This essential work not only maintains optimal stormwater capacity and conveyance throughout our lagoon network, but also enhances the natural beauty and environmental health of our community waterways.
