Manchaug Pond Foundation enters the 4th year of monitoring with the WCMC giving tremendous baseline data and as one component to our organizations overall water quality program! While Manchaug Pond and Stevens Pond do NOT have an algae or cyanobacteria problem, with past levels either at "not detected" or extremely low levels, we do monitor in order to learning more about the waters and the ecology of our lakes and to protect the health and safety of this water resource and all who enjoy.
