Sea Pines CSA Response Following Heavy Rainfall

Sea Pines received an estimated 20 inches of rainfall over the first 10 days of August, with nearly 10 inches on Saturday, August 9th alone. The unprecedented rainfall conditions over the past two weeks combined with very high tides, have created stormwater challenges throughout our community.

Stormwater Response & Important Reminders:

• Sea Pines CSA Maintenance teams (pictured below) continue to actively address areas experiencing localized flooding, particularly concentrated toward the south end of our community.
• Due to excessive rainfall and saturated ground conditions, we will maintain low lagoon levels over the coming weeks. This is a proactive measure to help groundwater drain and stay ahead of significant weather events.
• Please do not enter any areas marked with caution tape or safety cones along leisure trails or beach paths.
• We are aware that several beach paths remain underwater. This is due to collapsed drainage pipes and we will be addressing these areas as resources allow. Please use extreme caution or avoid beach paths entirely until cleanup efforts are completed.
• Additionally, we are working with our engineers to design long-term drainage improvements for areas that experienced unusual roadway flooding.
