EWA Issues Leaf Burning Guidelines at Lake Sara

Effingham Water Authority has issued leaf burning guidelines in the Lake Sara community.

The burning of leaves and landscape waste is permitted at Lake Sara between the hours of 8am and 6pm. Fires must be completely extinguished, except during the hours allowed. Fires must never be allowed to smolder even during the permitted hours.

Blowing leaves into Lake Sara is strictly prohibited and could contaminate the water supply. If anyone is caught blowing leaves into the lake, a citation will be issued.
