Penfield residents are invited to a community presentation entitled "Living Next to Stormwater Ponds III (and More!)" on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall.
The purpose of the meeting is to increase residents' awareness of the function of stormwater ponds and to present proper care and maintenance techniques to minimize common issues like algae, erosion, weeds, invasive species and nuisance wildlife. This is the third year this program has been offered to residents.
Videos from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will also be shown, and Town Engineer Geoff Benway will give an overview of the most recent stormwater regulations that have recently gone into effect.
The evening will also include information on green infrastructure practices to help residents reduce their water quality impacts.
"We will provide options to homeowners who want to act responsibly to protect our local water quality," said Supervisor Tony LaFountain. "Our town engineer will provide useful information for homeowners to implement on their own property for the benefit of all the watersheds affected by actions in our community."
For questions or more information, contact Geoffrey Benway at 585.340.8683 or benway@penfield.org.
