Bainbridge update 

Viola said the Bainbridge Pond drainage improvement project is on track and on budget. Ocean Pines received a $482,337 grant for the work and also budgeted $235,000 in additional funding.  

“It is scheduled to be completed by the end of June,” he said. “Right now, we’re on track for that, if not a little [early].” 

Improvements at the site include a new forebay, to help with filtration before water enters the main retention pond. 

“That’s one of the big items of this whole drainage [project] … to get this water cleaner as it goes out to the bay,” Viola said.
