Trillium Valley Park Stormwater Pond Cleanout and Retrofit
Official title: Trillium Valley Park Pond 48
The City of Waterloo is cleaning out and upgrading a stormwater pond in Trillium Valley Park. The pond has accumulated too much sediment and needs improvements to work better. An environmental assessment is underway to figure out the best approach.
Why This Matters
Live near Trillium Valley Park? This project affects your neighbourhood. Stormwater ponds prevent flooding during heavy rains. When they fill with sediment, they don't work as well—which could mean water backing up in nearby areas.
What Could Change
The pond will be cleaned out and redesigned. Construction will happen in the park, which may temporarily affect trails or access. The environmental assessment will determine exactly what changes are made.
Key Issues
- What is the best approach to retrofit the stormwater pond?
- How can operational issues with the pond be addressed?
