Stevens Pond Fees Set for 2013

It's almost that time of year again.

You may have been nervous that algae maintenance might mean higher fees at Stevens Pond this summer. But rest easy.

Selectmen approved rates for the pond for this summer, and the fees will remain the same as last year.

North Andover Youth Services Director Rick Gorman spoke at the Board of Selectmen meeting and called for rates to remain the same, to keep the pond affordable for families.

Last summer, the pond was closed due to algae build-up. Selectmen recently approved a plan to try to fix and maintain the pond's algae levels.
