Projects - Stormwater Pond Maintenance
Location
Throughout South Burlington
Benefit
Proper maintenance of stormwater ponds and other stormwater treatment
practices (e.g. swirl separators, constructed wetlands, etc…) is crucial
to ensuring that they provide effective treatment of stormwater runoff. If
ponds are not maintained they can fail and become a source of pollution. Identifying
and correcting small problems on a regular basis prevents large problems (e.g.
berm failures) from occurring.
Description
City owned and maintained stormwater detention ponds are inspected on a regular
basis. During these inspections, Stormwater Utility staff checks for: obstruction
of pond inlet pipes and outlet structures, impediments to flow through the system,
shoreline and berm erosion, sediment build up in the pond, and numerous other
items that can reduce the treatment effectiveness of stormwater ponds.
