Important Message from the Town Water Department

6/12/2026

1 Comment

 
Since the last update on April 15, 2026, Charleston County continues to experience extreme drought conditions. A map of these conditions is available here: Charleston County, SC | U.S. Drought Monitor.

This severe condition is an unprecedented experience for the Lowcountry and has created extremely high demand on the water system, especially during our peak hours: 4:30 am- 10:30 am and 4:30 - 7:30 pm. We have asked everyone with an irrigation system to reduce their water flow to reduce the duration and frequency of use. Please irrigate your yard only once a week, for a maximum of 1 hour. This reduction is critical to reducing the high demand on the system. 

The Town understands that high usage has reduced the amount of contact time with the Chlorine, reducing the hydrogen sulfide smell. Staff have been logging every water complaint received from the Town's water operator. If you would like to make a complaint, please call Town Hall or email the Town Administrator: [email protected]. Due to the high volume of complaints, staff do not have the capacity to respond to each inquiry individually. However, every complaint has been addressed to work towards a solution with the operator during this time. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. The Town is dedicated to the continual improvement of our system and the services we provide.

​New Community Park Opens, Bringing Green Space and Recreation Opportunities to Residents

5/14/2026

0 Comments

 
Awendaw, South Carolina — May 14, 2026 — The Town of Awendaw proudly announces the grand opening of its newest public park, Town of Awendaw Municipal Park, a vibrant green space designed to bring the community together while promoting outdoor activity, relaxation, and environmental stewardship.

Located at 7804 Doar Road, the park is 292 acres and features a wide range of amenities for visitors of all ages, including walking and biking trails, open fields, and a 60-acre lake. The park also incorporates sustainable design elements, such as native plantings, and is planning ecofriendly infrastructure.

This park represents a major investment in the well-being of our community. It’s a place where families can gather, children can play, and residents can connect with nature right in their neighborhood.

The project was developed with input from the community and the Town of Awendaw Municipal Park Foundation Board, ensuring the space reflects the needs and values of the people it serves. The park is a passive park and was provided by Charleston County Greenbelt funds.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on April 18th, featuring remarks from local officials.

​The Town of Awendaw invites all residents and visitors to come experience The Town of Awendaw Municipal Park and enjoy everything it has to offer.
