The Lincoln Street storm water pond will serve an area of approximately 700 acres which includes the downtown area. The pond will be located east of the City Center located at 111 Lincoln Street.
The ultimate goal is to increase water quality in the Badger Mill Creek and other downstream waterways by reducing pollutants in runoff that flow through the Lincoln Street channel.
The project will divert runoff from low flow events into the pond by an earthern diversion dam that will be constructed within the channel.
Project staff held a virtual Public information meeting on February 24, 2021 via Zoom at 5:30pm central time. The presentation can be viewed on the City YouTube channel and the presentation is included below.
