The Country Club Road Water Extension is identified as CDBG project 4-CI-25-008. The proposed work includes approximately 3,631 linear feet of 8-inch PVC water main. The extension could replace or supplement private water arrangements for the affected homes while adding county utility infrastructure in the Salters-area community.

Public comment and funding timeline

The county published a combined environmental review and notice of intent on June 24, 2026. The notice was posted July 6, according to the county’s record.

Written public comments were due July 9, 2026. Williamsburg County planned to submit its request for the release of the CDBG funds on or about July 10. The South Carolina Department of Commerce Grants Administration Division is the agency reviewing the request.

The July 10 step is a planned request, not a confirmation that the grant has been approved or released. The county notice does not state that construction has begun, and the approved source packet does not identify a construction start date.

What the project would mean locally

If the funds are released and the project moves forward, the planned water main would expand county service to the listed residential units. The notice identifies the project’s service area in Williamsburg County, while the local context connects it to the Salters area. The source does not provide a precise address or establish that every listed unit lies within Salters’ formal census or community boundary.

That distinction matters for residents tracking the proposal: the project is not new water service already in operation. It remains a proposed extension tied to a pending funds-release process.

The county’s comprehensive plan identifies water, transportation and infrastructure investment as county priorities. It also describes county coordination with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, transportation committees and state and federal grant programs. The Country Club Road proposal is a specific water-infrastructure request within that broader planning context.

For residents and property owners in the defined service area, the next documented milestone is the county’s planned submission of the CDBG release request around July 10. A later approval or release record would be needed before describing the funding as awarded or the extension as under construction.

About half of the projected effort—approximately $50,000—was expected to come from the South Carolina Department of Commerce. That is an anticipated funding share, not confirmation that the Town of Heath Springs has received a final award or that construction has started.

What the record says

The April 21 planning commission agenda packet discussed Heath Springs’ selection for an economic-development effort and said officials wanted to begin site work as soon as possible. The packet identified July as the target because of the project’s funding requirements.

The retrieved record does not clearly identify the project’s final name or exact physical site. It also does not specify whether the work involves a road, water system, housing, public-safety facility or another type of infrastructure. Those details remain unconfirmed.

The approximately $100,000 total is inferred from the record’s description of an approximately $50,000 state share covering about 50% of the project. A final town, county or state award document is needed to confirm the total project amount.

What it means for Heath Springs

For residents, property owners, workers and local businesses, the immediate development is the selection and funding process—not a completed improvement. The project could improve a town facility or other public-facing infrastructure and bring state-backed investment to Heath Springs, but the available records do not establish what residents will see on the ground or when any completed work will be available.

Because the scope and site are not yet clear, the project’s practical effect on traffic, services, property, businesses or public access cannot be determined from the approved record. The same limitation applies to the final cost and the town’s share, if any.

Next confirmation point

The Town of Heath Springs maintains official council agendas and minutes, including a June 29, 2026 meeting record. Those municipal records provide the primary path for confirming whether the project received a final award, whether its scope was finalized and whether site work began or remained pending after the July target.

Until that confirmation is available, the project should be understood as an active development backed by an expected state funding share, rather than a finished infrastructure improvement.
