They installed a temporary dam so only 1/3 the pond is drained. The birds had a field day cleaning out the fish.

The ponds are all interconnected for storm water management (SWM). They pumped the water into an adjacent lake so it will refill from there when there with is done.

FYI: 2018 presentation on how the SWM system works.
