Low pond levels CDD 4, north of 466.
These ponds near the four Golf Courses in Marion County were previously balanced by transferring water from one pond to another.
The water containing the fertilizer and weed chemicals was pumped or gravity fed through corrugated large diameter metal pipes. Drainage pipes not designed for pressurized usage. These pipes were installed under the streets of most neighborhoods by the Developer. These pipes failed as the result of their 20 years of misuse. The end result showed two homes being condemmed and well over a million and 1/2 dollars for replacement and relining absorbed by CDD4. These ponds are now renewed by mother nature and she has not for the last few weeks.
