Shredding Day – March 4, 2016

Shred 360 will be at the Town Hall again on Friday, March 4 from 10 am until 1 pm in the contractor parking lot.  If you remember from the last Shredding Day, you can bring paper trash, computer disks and drives as well as old tax returns to be shredded.  Paper may be brought to the site in cardboard boxes, but they are not able to shred the actual box.

This is the free Shred Day that enables Seabrookers to safely destroy any of these items. Shredding items is one way to protect yourself from Identity Fraud.

The next Shredding Day will be on October 14, 2016

Construction Outside the Gate Monday, February 8

On Monday, February 8, 2016 the Town of Seabrook Island will begin cleaning and inspecting the storm water piping system along each side of Seabrook Island Road from Landfall Way to the traffic circle.

Eadie Construction will begin at the entrance to the Bohicket Marina and work up and down the roadway using two very large pump trucks from 8am to 5pm daily. Please proceed with caution when approaching or leaving Seabrook Island. There is only limited space to support the heavy truck loads of water and debris without parking on portions of the roadway. There will be additional signage and traffic control personnel in place to ensure safe passage.

This work is the beginning of a two to three year program to improve flood control, roadway design, signage, and landscaping that is functional and maintainable over the years to come. Please read the article that will be in the March edition of the Seabrooker on the Seabrook Island Gateway Program for more information.

Mosquitoes in the Crosshairs Again

Charleston County Mosquito Abatement came out to Seabrook Island today checking the mosquito population. Inside the gate seemed to be clear. However, the Town Hall area and the ground along the Bike/Pedestrian path appears to be a breeding ground. So, the spray truck will be out tomorrow (Thursday, January 28) at Town Hall to spray the standing water there and then move up the bike path. Be aware of the truck moving slowly on the pathway. This should be between 8 AM and 12 PM.

Temporary Water Outage on Seabrook Island – Today, January 12th

There has been a problem with the Island’s water system late in the day in the Clear Marsh and Jenkins Point area.  The water has been turned off by the SI Utility Commission for a couple hours and they expect that it will be back on this evening.

Remember, when it’s after hours, calls for the SI Utility Commission should be directed to the Seabrook Island Security Gate.

Southern Living Magazine Highlights Area Beaches

seabrook-islandDid you miss seeing the advertisement In the January 2016 issue of Southern Living magazine, called Charleston, S.C., The Must-See Soul of the South?  It mentions the historic area and hotels with water views, but also highlights area beaches from Isle of Palms to Seabrook Island. The advertisement provides a website,  CharlestonAreaBeaches.com, which allows you to select your beach.  If you click on Seabrook Island, it takes you to lovely photos of our island with links to the Town of Seabrook Island, the Club, and vacation rental websites.
