Lake Hiawatha Water Quality and Area flooding: Storm water Pond & Other SolutionsStarted by Neighbors In 1998 the neighborhoods surrounding Lakes Nokomis and Hiawatha (SENA, NENA & HPDL) created the Blue Water Commission to conduct a scientific study and then recommend actions to improve the quality of these lakes. The Commission’s findings and recommendations are contained in the Report and Recommendations for the management of Lake Nokomis and Lake Hiawatha., published 1998. City ready to begin final phase of the adopted goals. Public Works is developing solutions to solve three storm water problems: 1) Alley and street flooding; 2) Storm water alley drains connected to the sanitary sewers, which contribute to Combined Sewer Overflows; and 3) Water quality of Lk Hiawatha. Recommendations from the 1998 report, including construction of a water quality and flood control pond in the green space at the intersection of East 43rd Street and 19th Avenue South, as well as other improvements, will be studied before a final solution is recommended. A Community Advisory Committee will be formed to provide the City with the community viewpoint on each solution considered. The committee will meet August through December and a final recommendation should be ready for presentation to the community by mid December. Libraries:Parks:
