Sure if they don’t move the water to common areas, and the golf courses, then it would be in my house. System was designed to stop that issue, even during the hurricane our pond was up more than 10 feet, all trees were lost. But thanks to their system waterways moved to courses instead of invading homes.

Sending thousands of gallons of water to-already soaked yards is the only other place. The only time this system is in place is during heavy rains, and hurricane issues. In normal times the pond is at wading level. I am happy to pay for my water, instead of couple feet of water in my home
