Data on Fresh Pond Water Quality

The Fresh Pond Neighbors Association has been monitoring conditions from late spring through early fall since 2017, through the Citizen’s Statewide Lake Assessment Program to keep you healthy! Biological assessments are available here as they come in. We sample both shallow and deep waters plus suspicious blooms. Water chemistry and biology is analyzed by New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC.) You can view and download detailed annual summary reports and surveys via the links below.
