1. SEWER OVERFLOW ON DONAHUE
Please click here to find the Charleston Water System slide deck from the meeting on Weds, August 21 at Founders Hall at Charlestowne Landing. We met with Charleston Water System representatives to talk about the Sewer Overflows on Donahue Drive. We will set another meeting for a 6-month update in January 2025. 

West Ashley Sewer Tunnel Extension Project Begins 
CWS contractors got started on this tunnel project Monday, September 16 – performing initial site prep. Physical construction begins a week from now.  This $127M tunnel, which is the most expensive capital improvement project in our history, is a key aspect in CWS’s work to combat sewer overflows on Donahue Dr.

Live 5 News aired a story about it this morning and will all day:

2. CATHOLIC CHURCH PROPERTY ON INGRAM RD
