Regency Lake
This dredging project enhanced Regency Lake’s water quality, safeguarding its ecosystem. Dredging the lake removes accumulated sediment, which reduces the lake’s water level and increases water temperature and the growth of harmful algae blooms. Higher water levels make it easier to maintain a healthy habitat for fish. The City temporarily relocated the lake’s fish to another Overland Park lake during the dredging process, and more fish will be added in the next few months.
