MEMBERS INFO

   Currently EWV (elderwood village) members are requested to vote yes / no on the proposal by the county to take over the area known as parcel "C" near the entrance sign.  They will build a "dry" drainage pond to replace the small wet pond behind the home at 2026 Elderwood Ct.    The area of water collection will be increased  and the hope will be the larger area will help percolate the storm water runoof into the soil and groundwater rather than collect as a pond .  There is a stream running through this area known to the county as Stillwater Creek.  This stream has sustained a brook trout population and the new "dry " drainage pond is intended to help keep silt and runnoff water out of the stream.

THE CURRENT DRAINAGE POND HOLDS STANDING WATER AFTER A HEAVY RAIN AND DUE TO LIMITED SURFACE AREA FOR EVAPORATION CAN REMAIN AS A BREEDING GROUND FOR A MOSQUITO POPULATION.

THE PROPOSED NEW DRAINAGE REA WOULD BE A LARGER COLLECTION AREA FOR COLLECTION OF RUNNOFF AND A GREATER SURFACE AREA FOR EVAPORATION AND PERCOLATION INTO THE GROUND.
