The Ball Pond Advisory Committee in New Fairfield is considering new methods to remove weeds from the water body.  At their most recent meeting, the group reviewed a purchase order that would allow for a quote to be obtained from New Milford-based C&D Underwater Maintenance. 

The company uses a tool called an Eco Harvester, which is similar to a drum roller that can tackle rooted weeds in shallow areas as well as deeper free-floating weeds. 

C&D Underwater Maintenance was set up as a vendor in the event the Ball Pond Advisory Committee decides to move forward in trying the Eco Harvester.
