On March 10, 1990, City Council approved plans and specifications for construction of Improvement Projects 87- 27 and 89-14 which included construction of sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and streets.

Reasons for the change were to eliminate point source.of discharge into the Rum River, disruption of the river bank and elimination of impacts on Lots 3 and 4, Block 4, Rum River Acres. The.changes were made to comply with the proposed standards of Lower Rum River Water Management Organization which requires development of on-site sediment basins in areas of new development and redevelopment discharging to Class I waters. The pond was constructed as a retention basin which percolates, into the ground water.
