The ponds are newer and have lesser amounts of accumulated sludges.
Adding aeration to the N of 44 ponds would be very expensive.

But again, which ones look horrible? None of the ponds that I've passed near my neighborhood north of 44 look bad. In the past the complaints have been about the ponds have mentioned those south of 44 - the newer ponds with the aerator and lesser amounts of accumulated sludges. I haven't noticed that anyone mentioned which ponds look bad this time around.
