Clean Lakes
Chesterfield County is fortunate to have nearly 1,300 miles of streams,
124 miles of riverfront, and hundreds of acres of reservoirs, ponds and
lakes. From the smallest creek to the largest lake, these water bodies
contribute to the quality of life in the county. Residents may not realize
that many of their behaviors and daily activities impact these waters.
Practices such as improper fertilization, over use of pesticides and
failing to protect soil can lead to algal blooms and fish kills, causing
long-term problems for our waterways. Conducting proper landscape maintenance
practices and maintaining a naturally vegetated buffer adjacent to lakes
and streams can significantly reduce such pollution.” Excerpt from
the informational brochure, “Protecting the waters of Chesterfield
County: Don’t Feed the Lake.”
