Located in Skippack Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, the Graterford Sewage Lagoons play a crucial role in water resource management within the Perkiomen Creek watershed. Built in 1986, these earth dams stand at a height of 35 feet and have a storage capacity of 155 acre-feet. The lagoons cover an area of 8 acres and are primarily regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

With a significant hazard potential, the Graterford Sewage Lagoons are inspected every two years to ensure their structural integrity and overall condition. Despite being classified as in fair condition, the lagoons are considered to be in compliance with state regulations and regularly monitored for any potential risks. The lagoons serve as an important water management infrastructure for the surrounding community, highlighting the intersection of water resource management and climate adaptation in the region.
