Detention Pond Maintenance

Detention Ponds are stormwater control structures that provide both retention and treatment of storm water runoff.

By capturing and retaining runoff during storm events, detention ponds control both storm water quantity and quality. The pond's natural physical, biological, and chemical processes then work to remove pollutants.

Attend this free workshop and learn how to maintain the vegetation and structural integrity of your detention ponds.
