LAKE RIDGE, Va. -- Two storm water management ponds have floated to the top of the list of needed storm water improvements along the Occoquan River.
Prince William County officials walked six miles and looked at 20 streams in the Occoquan River watershed, which includes streams and creeks that collect rainfall in areas like Brenstville and Independent Hill and points south of Manassas, where it then flows toward the Town of Occoquan and Lake Ridge.
Of those looked at, a storm water management site nestled underneath power lines along Old 
Bridge Road, between Antietam Road and Oakwood Drive in Lake Ridge, is in the most in need for improvements. Here, large sewer pipes are exposed after years of erosion from an unnamed creek that flows water into the storm water management pond. It’s feared that logs could strike the exposed pipes rupturing the sewer line. The storm water pond also sits near multiple homes in a densely populated suburban area.
