Frederick County has launched a SEPTIC PUMP-OUT REBATE program for a $75.00 rebate for property owners that have their septic systems pumped out in 2018-2019. Regular pumping of septic systems every five years maintains the effectiveness and longevity of systems and reduces nutrient leaching over time. Click HERE for application materials.-

Hi Folks. I hope everyone is well and you are enjoying this fall weather. I would like to give you some information on the pond at Merryland Park.
Years ago, the Lions Club gave the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) the park and pond. They only kept the building. Several years ago, we had a flood that brought the weeds into the pond that have been covering it for the last 2 years. The flood also clogged the spring and pipe that feeds water to the pond with debris. The filled in spring is now flowing over the parking lot and into the picnic area. making it a swamp. The weed in the pond is called Duckweed and fills the pond in the summer, making fishing impossible.
I have been working with the DNR to fix the pond. I talked with them this week and they said that they were almost ready to contract to repair the spring and replace the pipe to the pond. They feel that the full flow of water into the pond will push the Duckweed into the overflow pipe and out of the pond. They plan to have this completed by next spring. If this doesn’t work, then they will put an aerating fountain in the pond. We should see a lot of improvement next year.
The next Rosemont meeting will be on November 30. I will send out an agenda before the meeting. Stay safe and please continue following CDC COVID19 Guidelines for protecting yourself and others!
