Parallel to the drainage collector, closer to the water edge of the pond, there is a gravity-flow reinforced concrete sewer collector with a diameter of 2500 mm. The pond is fed mainly by the waters of the Teplyakovsky stream, which flows into the pond in the south. In addition, additional recharge occurs due to underground aquifers that have outlets in the old river bed. Gorodni and on the coastal slopes of the southern bay.

These ponds are separated by pedestrian dams and planted with cattails to purify the water. The pond was drained and cleared of dirt, making the water look like water, but as long as the polluted discharge takes place along the stream bed, it cannot be cleaner than a certain value. The drain has been replaced with a new one (in fact, only what flows out of the pond is what came through the bed of the Teplyakovsky stream). There is fish.
Next to the pond was the village of Pokrovskoye-Gorodnya.
