Work Has Started on the North Central Storm Water Project!

Work on the project began a couple weeks ago when workers cleared trees from an area to make room for dirt removed during the digging of regional ponds. The cleared area can be seen in the photo below.

Once full, this truck will carry dirt to the ditch shown above. Two trucks are running from the site to the waste area so that the excavator will not have to wait for one truck to make the entire trip.

This week, crews are excavating regional pond two. This area will serve as a detention pond for storm water, cleaning the water by allowing pollutants and silt to settle and preventing flooding by storing and slowing down the flow of storm water.

 The photo below shows the current size of the pond.
