OP, I agree with you the storm sewers in The Villages are not that old and the failures make you wonder about the quality of construction. Here in Florida the soil makeup and amount of annual rainfall could present special construction challenges that could warrant a revisit of construction specifications for storm sewers. I suspect we haven’t heard the last of this issue in The Villages.
