The link at the bottom of this post takes you to a PDF file about the city's storm water sewer system. It's fascinating reading, or at least more interesting than you'd expect, given the subject.
Go to the fifth page of the document (pages are identified as 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, etc.) for an inventory of the city system that mentions 16 ponds. So, 'Where are they?' you ask?
Go to the sixth page (4-6) for the map that shows where the stormwater sewers empty into area lakes and rivers. If you look closely at the map, the 16 ponds are in gold. There are several on the northwest corner of the Hiawatha Golf Course, some to the south of Lakes Nokomis and Calhoun, one on the north end of Sibley Park, one at 44th and Oakland, one at what I think is 42nd St. and Bloomington, one down south to the west of 35W just north of Highway 62 and one each in Northeast and Northwest Minneapolis. Also a tiny one northeast of Lake Harriet.
Information is right here.

Hey Matt,
The main link below does not work - Blogger has the ability to insert links too. It would be great to have these links active, but no sweat if not.
Steve,
Thanks for the heads up. Everything should be okey-dokey now.
Cheers,
Matt
