Water Quality Improvement
Over the past seven years, the water quality of Brewer's Pond has ranged from F+ to C-. One issue identified was an eroded pipe from Northland Ave to Brewer's Pond that was causing sediment to reach the pond. Additionally, the runoff from the area was piped directly to the pond without stormwater treatment in place.
In 2025, BCWD and the City of Stillwater partnered on a cost-share project to both replace the eroded pipe and provide stormwater treatment with a stormwater separator device.

Education and Events
2023 Water Quality and Flood Risk Workshop
In February 2023, BCWD held an online workshop for Brewers and Sinnets Ponds landowners. The purpose of the meeting was to empower residents to help protect water quality, restore native shoreline, and make personal choices about how to respond to their level of flood risk. The agenda included an overview of shallow lake and pond ecology, sharing results of water quality and flooding assessments, and offering free site visits and technical assistance.
