Here's what you can tell from photos. However, the village want to "help" yet not cleaning the most disgusting parts.
- 2 strange dead animals by mill pond. 1 placed above the watts pond waterfall. 2nd placed near mill brook pipeline.
- Filthy environment for wildlife.
- Behind the 5 stores on mill road, there are so many dead trees, branches and weeds that create breeding environments for rats, racoons and other negative wildlife.
- Decades old cans, plastic, and waste in water
- Deep muck in the pond. The pond used to be 5 feet deep but now 1-2 feet deep because of how much muck there is. We need to rake the muck out.
- Swamp lilly pads that are populating the pond. If it populates from one end of the pond to another, it can cause more flow blockage.
- Work done by the village is leaving residue in the water and dirt.
- The bridge of rocks by the mill pond bridge is actually hindering some of the water from flowing due to incorrect placement..
- From Mill Brook side, you can see that the water is stagnant and not flowing , which is why there's no water barely any water there.
- The entry point to the mill pond by sunrise highway is filled with trash and is clogged
- Lilly pads and stuck tree branch near the waterfall
