🛑 Friendly reminder - stay off of stormwater ponds this winter. 🛑
Stormwater ponds may have hidden hazards like rocks and branches that are not visible from the surface, increasing the likelihood of injury.
Let's have a #safe and injury-free winter!

DYK? Stormwater ponds never fully freeze. No matter how cold it gets, there is a constant flow of water under the ice, which is often thinner than it looks.
Should you fall in, hypothermia sets in quickly. Stay safe and stay off the ice.

DYK? Stormwater ponds manage stormwater runoff & water levels can fluctuate rapidly. This can lead to unpredictable ice conditions, with areas of thin ice, open water, or other hazards.
Put #SafetyFirst this winter!
