Anyone missing this baby? It’s hanging out at a neighbor’s house on Lauren Hope Lane.

Boil water advisory in the neighborhood.

07/10/2025

I just talked with Bradley Norman, head of operations at SJWD. I explained to him our frustration with the continued water outage. He said that they are actively investigating why the pipes keep bursting. I asked if there was a possibility that they would actually fix the problem rather than patch it. He said that eventually the pipes would have to be replaced, but it isn’t budgeted and that it would be a very expensive project. He said that he was not in control of budgeting and would pass our concerns on to the person in charge of that. I thanked him for sending out his crews in the middle of the night and expressed our gratitude for “fixing” the recurring problem. I don’t know if we as a community would like to have whomever is in charge of budgeting come talk to us or not. I’ll leave that up to Randy and his team.

If you don’t have water, SJDW says that the water should be back on shortly. There is a break on the main road. Happened around 3:30 am.

Burn ban in effect in Spartanburg County starting today.

The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a State Forester’s Burning Ban for 20 counties, including Spartanburg County, effective at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1.

A State Forester’s Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including yard debris burning, in unincorporated areas, as well as burning for forestry, wildlife or agricultural purposes, otherwise known as prescribed, or controlled, burns. The ban does not apply to fires used for the preparation of food or fires used in appropriate enclosures (portable outdoor fireplaces, chimineas, or permanent fire pits constructed of stone, masonry, metal or other noncombustible material that conforms with all applicable South Carolina fire codes).

The burning ban is intended to ease the strain on firefighting personnel and law enforcement officials – from both the Forestry Commission and from local fire departments – many of whom were dispatched to affected areas to assist with road clearing, damage assessment and related cleanup.

“We understand people may wonder why a burning ban is necessary when more than half of the state has received so much rain,” said SCFC Fire Chief Darryl Jones. “We’re issuing the ban not because of elevated fire danger, but rather because so many of our firefighting and emergency personnel and resources are committed to hurricane-related response.”

After consultation with Gov. Henry McMaster and other emergency response organizations Monday, State Forester Scott Phillips declared the ban to reduce possible wildfire ignitions.

Because most wildfires in South Carolina are caused by escaped debris burns – more than 50 percent – the need to curtail ignitions is paramount because of the limited fire response available at this time. “The difficulty that emergency personnel are having accessing areas with trees and power lines down,” Jones said, “combined with the inability to maintain reliable water pressure are major risk factors.”

The ban will stay in effect until further notice, which will come in the form of an official announcement from the Forestry Commission.

I suppose there are those in this community who don’t remember that there is a hill to go up to get out of the neighborhood. There is currently a silver truck that attempted to leave, rolled back down the hill, hit the culvert and is now stuck. My flower bed is probably done. If you have four wheel drive you can probably make it out, otherwise keep your rear end at home. Geez….
