Rockville will launch a major stormwater project at the Villages at Tower Oaks in November 2026. The construction initiative aims to upgrade water treatment capabilities through pond dredging and embankment modifications.
Why it matters
The project is designed to enhance local water treatment efficiency by dredging the existing pond. Additionally, clearing trees from the embankment is required to comply with current regulatory standards.
Construction crews are scheduled to operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The project timeline expects completion by spring 2027.
