There is a landscaped pond in my subdivision, what is its purpose?
Most new subdivisions include a stormwater management facility, which often appears as a landscaped pond. These naturalized ponds are designed to collect runoff after a heavy rainfall, treat it for impurities and discharge cleaner water into rivers and creeks. Ponds are routinely monitored and maintained by the developer until the Town assumes the subdivision. Please note that these facilities are not intended for recreational use. Water levels and ice thicknesses are not monitored and will vary. The Town assumes no liability or responsibility for unintended uses.
