There are many opportunities for Mount Pleasant residents to get involved in protecting water quality in your favorite local waters! Here are our top three:
1. On Saturday, September 15, 2018 the Town of Mount Pleasant is partnering with the Annual Beach Sweep / River Sweep to clean up Shem Creek. However, this is a state-wide event. To find a clean-up site near you, click HERE.
2. The Stormwater Division of the Public Services Department offers a year-round litter-pickup program. You can gather a group of friends, family, co-workers, etc. to help protect water quality at your convenience.
3. We have storm drain decals that you can install on drains in your area. The decals are reminders not to dump debris or chemicals into the storm drain. We will provide markers, educational brochures that you can hand out in your project area.
If you would like to be involved in protecting water quality for your local body of water, please contact our Stormwater Division: (843) 856-2157 or
