Road Resurfacing Project to Begin A road resurfacing project will begin in Murray Hill and move to Historic Village. The order of resurfacing was determined in consultation with a third-party engineer and Director of Common Area and Facilities Janie Parrish.
The project is expected to begin on Wednesday, October 21, weather permitting. Once a firm start date is established, additional details will be shared, including what residents can expect as work moves through each area.
Fire Station Update: Construction Moving Forward Beaufort County and Fraser Construction have reported that the new fire station has received necessary approvals to move forward.
Residents will begin to see increased activity at the site as work gets underway. Please use caution when traveling near this area and remain mindful of construction vehicles and activity.
We're excited to see this important project move forward and will continue to keep residents informed as work progresses.
Alligator Awareness Reminder One of the unique features of living in the Lowcountry is sharing the environment with native wildlife, including alligators.
The key to staying safe is to give alligators space and never approach them. Always keep a safe distance from the water's edge, and closely supervise children and pets around lagoons, lakes and ponds. Pets can attract an alligator's attention because they may resemble natural prey.
If you see an alligator, enjoy it from a distance. The best rule of thumb is simple: Don't feed it. Don't approach it. Don't disturb it.
Watch the video below to learn more about alligators in the community. 
Basil Court Powerlines Project Santee Cooper and Lee Electric, a sub-contractor for Santee Cooper, will be working on the powerlines near Basil Court. They will utilize the Bull Hill Gate to bring in equipment. The project is expected to last four weeks, weather permitting.
Palmetto Electric Fiber Optics Upgrade Palmetto Electric is working on a communication fiber optics upgrade installation project. The objective is to increase coverage and reliability.
A contractor will complete the project under the supervision of Palmetto Electric. The contractor's vehicles will be identified as "Contractor for Palmetto Electric."
Work will be performed Monday through Friday. There will be no work done on weekends or done at night. Sun City residents can expect to see boring and a lot of digging. There is no estimated end date for this project as work is weather dependent.
Pool Improvements Update The Hidden Cypress outdoor pool is closed as part of the pool improvements project and will reopen on Monday, October 26. Click here for more information.
