Roswell approves funds to detention pond repair

Roswell will commit an extra $150,000 from its stormwater utility fund for repair work on the River Run detention pond, a project the city has had in its sights for some time.

Public Works Director Stuart Mooring said the pond is on private land but became the city’s responsibilty when the subdivision was annexed from Fulton County. The original plat, approved by the county, called for government control and maintenance over the pond, Mooring said.

The city began assessing stormwater fees last year.
