Association Stormwater Management
Ponds
Storm Water Management ponds are designed to manage the flow of storm water. Fairfax County maintains a large number of storm water management ponds.
In 2004 the county repaired the storm water management ponds in our common area.
More information on the Fairfax County Storm Water Management pods can be found at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpwes/environmental/swm_quickref.htm
Wet weather and a high water table can contribute to soggy
backyards for residents on the ends of Glenbrooke Woods Drive and
Timber Wood Way. This could lead to mosquitoes. Mosquito larvae
require 7-10 days of standing water for a suitable breeding area and
to produce adult, predatory mosquitoes.
Fairfax County website has information and recommendations on how to
control mosquitos at:
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/westnile/wnvmosq.htm
Fairfax County also has a number of publications on mosquitos and
other insect nuisances, including this one which has tips on Mosquito
Control
For mosquito control, the county recommends residents purchase a pet
safe product called Mosquito
Dunks. to be used in any standing water to prevent mosquito larvae
from maturing. Mosquito Dunks can be found at all area home centers,
as well as online.
