Looking to buy a home in a new subdivision in Strathroy?

Part 17, in our series of Purchasing in a New Subdivision in Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc

There is a landscaped pond in my Subdivision. What is its purpose?

Most new Subdivisions include a stormwater management facility, which often appear as a landscaped pond. These ponds are designed to collect runoff after a heavy rainfall, treat and discharge it into rivers and creeks. Ponds are monitored and maintained by the Subdivider, including routine dredging of the area, until the Municipality assumes the Subdivision.
