If you are shopping for a home in the Tega Cay or Fort Mill area right now you will notice lawns looking brown instead of green these days. With higher or I should say HOT summer temperatures and water restrictions that are in place, it is difficult to maintain a bright green lawn.

So you might ask what are the current water restrictions? Here is an update.

Tega Cay’s city council did revise the current stage 3 water restrictions on May 31st. Stage 3 restriction have been in place since October of last year. We were blessed with much needed rain during the spring season so the council reduced the restrictions slightly from the April 21st, 2008 change. We are still in stage 3 water restriction with the following changes:

You are allowed to water lawns with sprinklers or irrigation systems one day a week.
Odd addresses are allowed to water any time on Saturdays
Even addresses are allowed to water anytime on Sundays.

The April 21st update only allowed you to water on the designated day from 12:01am to 9am. The May 31st change allows you to water anytime during your designated day.

Besides the change to the time of watering your lawns 1 day a week, you may now wash vehicles, watercraft, fill pools, and pressure wash structures/driveways on the same designated day of the week. But only one day a week on your designated day.

Residents are allowed to use hand held watering containers and hoses with spray nozzles to water plants, shrubs, flowers, containers, gardens, and lawns any time and any day of the week.

Tega Cay restrictions now match the current York County stage 3 restrictions. Fort Mill water restrictions are similar except the only day to water, wash, or fill is Saturday. Fort Mill did not break out different days for even or odd addresses.

In all jurisdictions, watering, washing, and filing on days other than your assigned day is strictly prohibited. And so is any water run off. (more…)

The Tega Cay based Carolina Show Ski Team started their show season last night with their first summer ski show at Windjammer Park. This year’s ski show theme is a country hoe down.
The show features thrilling skiing acts, such as jumping, barefooting, ballet lines, and human pyramids.

The ski show even has a commercial break from the energizer bunny.

Info from their website:

Carolina Show Ski Team, Inc. was founded in 1988. We are a non-profit organization with a mission of promoting the sport of water skiing in a safe, fun-filled, family environment. Our team performs through-out the Carolina region and is based out of Charlotte with members from Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, Lake Hartwell and High Rock Lake.

The Carolina Show Ski Team has competed in several Regional Water Ski Tournaments, including the Southern Regional Tournament in Florida. This year the team will be competing in the Division II Show Ski Nationals in Indiana for the very first time. Every year our team hosts several skiing tournaments, including the “New Years Day Barefoot Challenge” on Lake Norman. In addition, we also offer several “Learn to Ski” clinics throughout the summer for those who are interested in learning how to ski, wanting to improve their skiing or perhaps learn a new trick.

The ski team is made up of skiing and non-skiing members who work together to raise money for team activities; work together to put on great performances; and who work together to have fun! The ski team is governed by a board that manages team activities and finances, and as needed, presents information to the whole team at monthly meetings (or special meetings called by the President) for decisions to be made. We have weekly practices and perform ski shows throughout the summer season, and contribute to the community in a variety of different ways. (more…)

Recent rains has Lake Wylie looking full these days. See an earlier post called Lake Wylie at Full pond. So many local residents have been wondering when the stage 3 water restrictions set last fall would be lifted.

Rock Hill and Fort Mill have recently reduced restrictions so it was time for the Tega Cay City Council to decide if they would follow suit. Tega Cay Councilman Les Conner said although the lake is up, ground water levels are still low and challenged whether they should reduce restrictions. But the council voted last Monday to allow residents to water lawns again. (more…)
