Meeting To Highlight Plans For Elkridge Stormwater Pond

ELKRIDGE, MD — Residents are encouraged to attend a meeting Wednesday to discuss planned improvements to a stormwater pond in Elkridge.

The stormwater pond, Willowood 235, sits near the intersection of Wesley Lane and Sutton Court in Elkridge.

The proposed project calls for the replacement of the old metal outlet structure with a new concrete outlet structure that will have a longer service life and bring the pond into compliance with current Maryland Department of the Environment requirements.

The project would start in the fall of 2027 and wrap up in the spring of 2028, weather permitting.

The Howard County Department of Public Works Bureau of Environmental Services’ Storm Water Management Division will hold the meeting starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Belmont Room at the Howard County Library System’s Elkridge Branch.

The informal meeting will include an overview of the design, followed by an open question-and-answer discussion. County staff and the project’s design consultant will also be on hand to answer any questions and gather public comments.

The project is funded through the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
