Pond Maintenance

You may have noticed that there was some work being done on the dry pond near the park.  The city inspected both the dry pond and the wet pond. The city found some "deficiencies" that had to be addressed.

Dry Pond

Below are the reports on the dry pond (located near the park).

• Excessive vegetation growth – This will require the removal of small trees growing around the inflow area.
• Structural integrity/soil erosion – This is the bulk of the work done Saturday and Monday. We had to "reset flow line of bulging under-drain pipe in sand filter". Essentially, remove old soil and replace with sand for the filtration.

Wet Pond

Below are the reports on the wet pond (between Campfield Pkwy and Manchaca). None of these have been addressed, yet. We have until October, but will be doing it as soon as it can be scheduled.

• Excessive vegetation growth – This will require the removal of small trees growing around the basin. Those small tress will be removed by hand instead of mowing to maintain the ecosystem.
• Outlet Blocked – Trash and debris needs to be removed from the drainage pipes.
• Structural integrity/soil erosion – This one was marked as a violation since they could not assess it due to the blocked outlet.
