Our Stormwater Pond Connection

Stormwater ponds are a common feature in many neighborhoods, and for many landowners, they are part of their backyard. This video uses simple terms and engaging animation to explain how stormwater ponds help keep our lakes and rivers clean. It also sets expectations for what is normal for your neighborhood stormwater pond, and perhaps more importantly, what not to expect.
