Due to high flows caused by the recent heavy rainfall, treated effluent from our Wastewater Plant #2 flowed into storm drains at our treatment facility and then into the nearby cove. Additionally, an overflow of a sewer manhole located near 1007 Palmyra Drive also occurred. The overflows have stopped, SCDHEC staff and the City of Tega Cay have been notified of the overflows, and cleanup activities are under way at both locations. Bacteria samples are being collected today and will be collected daily until the sample results indicate the bacteria levels have returned to normal in the cove. A repeal of this No Swimming advisory will be issued only after DHEC determines it is appropriate to do so. Tega Cay Water Service will investigate the source of the added flow and initiate efforts to correct any deficiencies found. If you have any questions regarding this advisory, please contact Customer Service at 800/272-1919.
