The Effingham Water Authority has issued a reminder regarding the rules for burning leaves and landscape waste at Lake Sara:

The burning of leaves and landscape waste is permitted at Lake Sara between the hours of 8am and 5pm. NO BURNING is allowed on Sundays.

Fires must be completely extinguished, except during the hours allowed. Fires must never be allowed to smolder, even during permitted burning hours, and must be supervised at all times.
