Look beyond the waterline.
Consider the inputs as well as the filter
Milton’s stormwater guidance describes how runoff can carry soil, chemicals, and other debris from surrounding surfaces into waterways. Applied to an ornamental pond assessment, this makes the surrounding landscape worth documenting alongside the pump and filter.

Prepare a more useful inquiry
- Photograph any visible runoff route after rainfall without entering flowing water.
- Record nearby fertilizing, treatment, or landscaping activity.
