No connection to sprinklers - both said, "That's your washing machine drain, it does that - try to do less wash". I did - still a soaking wet mess. Kills the grass, trees, etc. It supposedly is a "french drain", but I don't see any drainage happening - just pooled water, all over. Any ideas?

If want some help tell us what Village and what type neighborhood, ie Patio Villa, Courtyard Villa or "House"?
I had a similar problem, turned out to be the gutters went into a drain field, and the piping was full of sand and other material that catches in the gutters. I had to dig up the "old" drain pipe, which was corrugated plastic, and replace with solid plastic PVC pipe which I ran to the curb and put in a popup at the curb. I also put in an access point that I can open and run a hose thru to keep it cleaned out.
