The City of Myrtle Beach is asking residents and businesses to help conserve water after state officials declared a severe drought for the Pee Dee River Basin, which includes Horry County. Conserving water now will help protect the region’s water supply and ensure adequate water is available for essential needs and fire protection.
Drought Management Plan
The Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority (GSWSA) will temporarily activate its Drought Management Plan beginning Wednesday, July 1, to help ensure a reliable water supply and maintain adequate fire protection throughout its service area.
GSWSA advises residents who irrigate their lawns to do so only before 6:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. Simple conservation measures can make a meaningful difference.
