Date: April 9, 2011 Pond
returned to its former beauty
A big thanks goes to the Secret Woods board. The pond on
Secret Woods Drive had quickly begun to deteriorate after the
fountain aeration motor went bad. Algae blooms were
underway but before the blooms could get a grasp on the pond for
the entire season, the board had the fountain fixed and the pond
chemically treated. Once the chemicals were applied, a
neighbor skimmed the pond's remaining algae. Those actions
combined with a good rain have restored it.
Date: February 27, 2011 One fountain
fixed, one to go The board has had the front fountain repaired. Now the
race is on to fix the Secret Woods Drive fountain before the
spring algae has a chance to take hold as it did the last two
years. Read the details in theFebruary minutes.
