In fact, most of them are carefully designed Stormwater Facilities that play a big role in keeping our community healthy and resilient.

These engineered ponds help collect and convey stormwater, especially during heavy rains. They also work to improve water quality by filtering out pollutants before the water moves downstream. By slowing and controlling the flow of runoff, they help reduce flooding, protect local streams, and support healthier ecosystems.

So the next time you pass one of these ponds, remember you’re seeing part of the city’s stormwater infrastructure at work; quietly protecting our waterways and neighborhoods!
