Hanover Township Detention Pond Also a Hockey Rink
Two creative Hanover Township boys have carved an ice hickey rink out of Pointe North's detention pond at the intersection of Hanoverville Road and Route 512. Guess they attract more than mosquitoes.
"A retention pond is designed to hold a specific amount of water indefinitely. Usually the pond is designed to have drainage leading to another location when the water level gets above the pond capacity, but still maintains a certain capacity.
"A detention pond is a low lying area that is designed to temporarily hold a set amount of water while slowly draining to another location. They are more or less around for flood control when large amounts of rain could cause flash flooding if not dealt with properly."
What you see in nearly every new development around here is a detention, not a retention, pond.
Walked past that development on Sunday and it reminded me that the homes sold there in 2005 - 2006 in the range of $400k - $500k. Wonder what the avg. price is now? Also, Bernie do you know if that is 1 of the developments where the Hanover Supervisors pulled the bonds? I just mention it because while the streets have been completed, the other improvements seem incomplete.

Where there's ice, a lawyer is sure to follow.
"out of Pointe North's detention pond"
Isn't it a retention pond?
No. It is a detention pond.

I don't believe so.
