     Glossary

Comments:  Stormwater treatment system consisting of swales and exfiltration pipe went on line along Primrose Drive during 2001.  Lake Association has reestablished aquatic plants. Alum treatment in April 1999 resulted in short-term water quality improvements. Recent data indicates projects are resulting in improving water quality. It is one of the deepest City lakes.
