While our pond might be scenic, the Hearthstone Retention Pond’s primary purpose is retention of storm water run off. All the water from the street sewers goes into Hearthstone Retention Pond. This controls flooding in our community… and your basement. However the pond is also available to all Hearthstone homeowners for recreational fishing. A few things to keep in mind:
11/15/13 Grate installed on exit culvert
The board voted on installing a new grate on the exit culvert of the pond. This was installed to prevent any debris from getting into the pipe where all of our storm water flows. This is very important to keep our basements dry!
8/19/13 Fountain problems
The Hearthstone fountain power unit was found to be faulty and needs to be replaced. A new power unit will be purchased, installed, and ready for operation in April, 2014
8/1/13 Fountain problems
The fountain on the Hearthstone pond malfunctioned and was shut down on Thursday July 25th. A service technician removed the fountain and has determined the seal is broken and needs to be repaired or replaced. Updates will be posted
8/1/13 Lawn care around pond area
In an effort to discourage and deter trespassing, lawn maintenance on the north side of the Hearthstone (along the CN railroad track) has been suspended indefinitely. The area around the rest of the pond is now being cut twice as much.
6/15/12 Our pond has been inspected by professionals and they report that the pond is in very good condition!
Through hard work from the Hearthstone Board of Directors and the Town of Dyer we were able to bring the pond
back to the normal level. An old railroad bridge over the Dyer ditch had collapsed into the water
preventing any flow out of our pond. CN and the town of Dyer removed the materials and cleaned the
ditch allowing water to flow again.
