GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Santee Cooper officials say heavy precipitation throughout the area in addition to the watershed feeding the Santee Cooper Lakes has increased inflows to the Santee Cooper Lakes system.
It’s prompted Santee Cooper to conduct what they call a controlled spilling operation at the Santee Dam on Lake Marion. It’s when they release water from the dam.
Georgetown County Councilman Everett Carolina and other residents say they’re concerned about the impacts the spilling operation could have on their properties.
