Water Advisory

Posted 12/25/22:  From the Town of Edisto Beach: With so many ruptured pipes in unoccupied homes due to the freezing weather, water pressure was lost in Town.  DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

Weekend Freeze Alert

Posted 12/22/22:  The Town of Edisto Beach has provided some tips for preparing your home for freezing temperatures December 23-25, 2002.  Learn More.

Horace Kinsey Retires New Manager Announced

Posted 12/8/22: Horace Kinsey has announced his retirement as the Manager of the Ocean Ridge MPOA. Deborah Hargis has been selected as his replacement. You may recognize Deborah from her eight plus years as Town Clerk for Edisto Beach or from her years as a Happie Truck driver. She has been a permanent resident of Edisto Island since 2012, and her parents Henry and Harriett Tindall have owned their home on Palmetto Boulevard since 1965. She has spent her summers here since that time. Deborah is the proud mother of two grown daughters: Ellison, a school counselor in Burlington, NC and Mary Bryce, who works for education software company IXL and lives in Las Vegas. In her spare time, Deborah enjoys spending time on her family’s farm in Calhoun County and reading.

Horace will continue working with Deborah during a period of transition. All inquiries should now be directed to Deborah.  We are very grateful to Horace for his years of service to the MPOA and happily welcome Deborah as the new Manager.
