Description
The Waukon Storm Water Quality Improvements Project includes a stormwater wetland that will improve the water quality of Indian Springs Pond and Paint Creek. This project will complement the city’s State Revolving Fund Sponsored Project which includes permeable pavers, a bioretention cell, and native plantings within the City Park. The combination of these projects will treat the entire water quality volume of the watershed as well as control the runoff from all the storm events. By detaining and treating not only the small storms but the flood events in the Pladsen Wetland, runoff will be greatly reduced to the pond and creek.
