Alljoy Neighborhood Community Updates

Good afternoon Alljoy Community. We wanted to let you know that for the next three weeks, one of the county's contractors will be parking their maroon car in the Alljoy Boat Landing Parking Lot. The contractor is working on a project on Daufuskie Island for us, and it's a better use of resources for them to stay on the island during the week. The car will be removed on the weekends.

The county's sidewalk contractor, Sandhill ALS Construction, has started tree removal along Alljoy Rd. Once the removal is complete, the silt fencing will be installed.

The contractor for the sidewalk construction has mobilized and installed construction warning signs. Crews will soon begin installing silt fencing and tree protection, followed by clearing bushes and trees as needed for sidewalk installation. Please use extra caution when traveling through the work area and be mindful of workers and equipment. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation during construction.

With 2 Mullet Street's demolition, we're another step closer to bringing an expanded boat landing to Alljoy. Public Works may put down some grass seed to make the site of the demolition more presentable between now and the future boat landing construction.

Here are three photos during the demolition:

Here's a photo of the completed demolition:

From 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, BJWSA will host a Phase 1 Property Owner Enrollment Event. This event is for invited property owners to fill out the paperwork necessary for their residence to be connected to the low-pressure sewer system when construction begins next year.
Residents who are not part of Phase 1 are also welcome to stop by to ask questions about the project. There will not be a presentation during this time.

Then at 5:30 PM, Beaufort County and BJWSA will host a community update meeting to share updates on ongoing Alljoy projects and answer questions from residents.

Both events will take place in the large meeting room at the Bluffton Branch Library.

We've added two dates to the Key Dates section of this page. On October 7th, BJWSA is going to be hosting a Phase 1 Property Owner Enrollment event from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Anyone will questions about the project is welcome to stop by. And then at 5:30 PM Beaufort County and BJWSA will be partnering on a Alljoy community update meeting where we'll be sharing updates on the various projects in Alljoy. Both events will be held in the large meeting room of the Bluffton branch library.

Beaufort County Public Works, in coordination with SCDOT maintenance crews, is aware of drainage concerns in the Alljoy area following recent heavy rainfall. Crews are actively working across the county to address immediate issues and provide relief where possible.

Separately, the County’s ongoing Alljoy Drainage Study is evaluating system capacity and potential long-term improvements. Findings from the study will guide future projects. We appreciate the community’s patience as both near-term response and long-term planning move forward. If you’re interested in participating in the drainage study, please feel free to use this website on your mobile device to document any flooding on your property: https://arcg.is/1W4bLq2

On Monday, 8/18/25, the Public Facilities Committee of Beaufort County Council approved the award of the contract for construction of the sidewalk and also approved the award for the contract to design the updates of the boat landing. Both contracts now move on for full County Council approval on September 8th at 6 PM, located at the Beaufort County Courthouse - 102 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, SC.

📣 Attention Alljoy Residents! 🌧️

We're excited to share that the Alljoy Drainage Study is officially underway! The contractor leading this important project, SeamonWhiteside, is asking for your help documenting flooding in the community.

📝 They’ve set up a simple online survey where you can report:

• Name and Address

• Flooding Date and Time

• Severity and Approximate Location of Flooding

• Photos (up to 5 total) and notes

🔗 Submit your observations here: https://arcg.is/1W4bLq2

💡 Important Safety Reminder:
Please use caution when documenting flooding. It’s okay to take photos from a safe spot on your own property, but please don’t drive around or walk into dangerous conditions looking for flood spots elsewhere.

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Tech-savvy? If your neighbors need help submitting their surveys, feel free to lend a hand.

SeamonWhiteside has also created a QR code that you can scan with your smart phone to access the link to the survey. To use the QR code, activate the camera on your phone and point it at the QR code.

Hello Alljoy Community, I've just added a new Documents section to this community page and uploaded the Alljoy Sidewalk Design Plans PDF file. Clicking on the file name in the Documents section will start the download process. The download could take a minute or two to start. To view the file in the maximum amount of detail, I highly recommend setting the page size to 'Actual Size' or 100% size. From there you can use the scroll bars on the bottom and side to scroll left/right, and up/down, to view the plans. I uploaded this file after receiving requests from the community. This will allow residents to see the planned location of the sidewalk including the drainage additions that are part of the design. The file comes from our Engineering department and is also available on the beaufortcountypenny.com website. If you'd like to view the meeting minutes of public meetings that were held to discuss the design of the project, they can be viewed on the Meetings section of the same website.
