Storm water ponds aren’t just nice scenery, they are an integral part of the community’s drainage system! Each pond in Stony Plain works to reduce the risk of flooding and minimize erosion by controlling the rate at which collected water is released. Contaminated water entering the pond is naturally processed without the need for additional equipment. Water quality increases while simultaneously creating new habitats for local wildlife.
As water is constantly flowing beneath the surface, storm water ponds are not safe sites for recreational activity. In the summer months, this applies to any water-based activity such as swimming or boating. These ponds are also not safe for your four-legged friends! Bacteria found within the pond water can be hazardous to both you and your pets. Keep the whole family safe by avoiding contact.
