aka South Easton Pond

The City has identified the Easton Pond dam and its integral drainage moat as a vital piece of the city infrastructure for both its drinking water and storm drainage. Easton Pond consists of North Easton Pond and South Easton Pond totaling 112.7 acres and 147.5 acres respectively.

The north and south ponds are separated by an earthen embankment and connected by pipelines through the embankment. The ponds are two of the raw water reservoirs used by the Newport Water Division. Water from these reservoirs is treated at the Station 1- Water Treatment Plant located on Bliss Mine Road. The Easton Pond has served as a raw water source dating back to 1877 and is a vital part of the Newport Water Division's infrastructure.
