Retention Pond Answers

I recently received a lot of questions on facebook about the local retention ponds in and around the Beulah area of District 1.  So I posted some information about retention ponds and how citizens can check on their nearby ponds, online, to see if such ponds are county-maintained.

The drawing above illustrates several of the ponds about which I have been questioned.

I received information back from staff late this week about these specific ponds, so I am posting it here now:

Pond 833 Bridlewood.  Last cut 6-25-18
Ponds 684, 685, 686 Twin Spires. Last cut 6-26-18
Pond 724 Audrey Plantation. Last cut 6-11-18
Ponds 895, 896 Twenty One Oaks. Last cut 6-11-18
Pond 872 Hawthorne Grove. Last cut 6-28-18
Pond 914 Navy Oaks. Last cut 6-11-18
Pond 917 Covington. Appears to be a new pond recently added to the route and will be cut in the next 2-3 weeks.

Pond 564 is the one in front of the Equestrian Center. We have not cut it in a couple of years as the Equestrian Center has been mowing around it each time they mow their site. I know there are trees around it and lily pads in it but it is a wet pond.

All the ponds above, with the exception of the Equestrian Center, should be cut in the next 2-3 weeks .
