A Sanitary Sewer Overflow occurred on Monday 12/23/2019 at 1:45pm at a manhole near JIPSD Pump Station 2 (1895 Central Park Rd) resulting in an estimated 5,500-6,500 gallons of wastewater entering James Island Creek. This event was due to heavy rainfall and flooding proximate to the Pump Station.
A Sanitary Sewer Overflow occurred on Tuesday 12/24/2019 at 9:01am at 820 Waterloo Dr resulting in an estimated 4,500 gallons of wastewater entering the lake between Waterloo Dr and Whispering Marsh Dr. This event was due to heavy rain and high tide in the adjacent areas.
