Attn. SCHH residents--after a BIG rain

.
Immediately after a BIG rain, lagoons should be full—NOT necessarily to elevations shown in construction plans, but to elevations to which they were built. Immediately after a BIG rain is a good time to see if the existing control structures are leaking.

This is a photo of a control structure:

As you can see, the water level is down from the top of it. With a BIG rain, the water level in the lagoons should be to the tippy-top (a technical term) of the control structures. If not, then they leak.

SCHH residents, if the water in your lagoon isn’t to the tippy-top of the control structure immediately after a BIG rain, then take a digital photo. The photo could be useful in future discussions with DHEC. You can email the photo and it’s location to me, if you wish (rkoenigsc@aol.com).

Thanks.
