Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services will begin removing built-up sediment from Waverly and Marlwood ponds soon. This work will give the ponds more room to hold water longer, helping filter out pollutants before the water flows downstream.
On August 25, 2025, City Council awarded the construction contract to Eagle Wood, Inc. Dredging operations at Waverly Pond are scheduled to start in January. Once complete, operations will move to Marlwood Pond. The entire project is anticipated to take approximately one year.
During the next few weeks, these activities may be underway: locating and flagging utilities, marking work zones and surveying the ponds.
