Stormwater Pond Converted To Ornamental Pond
The original design of this pond in Lodi, California, was intended for stormwater storage. It was repurposed to be used as an ornamental pond next to a park. Surrounding the park are several housing developments, and the city is in the process of building sports fields on the other side of the pond. When we originally started treating this pond in 2021, it was heavily laden with algae buildup, murky water, and during the summer months had a foul odor affecting the neighborhoods close by. After two years of treatment, the pond water is effectively clear to the bottom, and no foul odors or algae bloom are present.
