Work is being performed on a stormwater pond in Fish Creek. 

The general idea of the ponds is to allow sediment to settle; storm water from the storm drain network often carries large amounts of mud and muck that basically just enter the rivers, making things murky for those downstream.  The City of Calgary addresses that via these ponds.

 (This is a fitting article for all the rain we have been having lately, but the need is not caused by the recent rains.)
