DHEC Warns of Dam & Spillway Dangers

Controlling and monitoring water levels in ponds and lakes through routine management is key to avoiding collapse.

Controlling and monitoring water levels in ponds and lakes through routine management is key to avoiding collapse.  And that is what could have been avoided at Philpott Lake in Pickens County when the earthen dam gave way and washed out a driveway below.

HOA’s need a pond and lake management in place to avoid the costly consequences of the extra rainfall the Upstate has been receiving this year.

Simply cleaning overflows, slowing water down through the use of sedimentation ponds, and building emergency spillways will help HOA’s and retention pond owners with the liability of a washout.

Every retention pond in Greenville SC needs a 5, 10 and 15-year plan for their HOA pond or lake.  Failure to do so can result in tens or thousands in extra expenses not budgeted.  And nobody wants to be assessed for extra fees by their HOA due to poor management.
