You can blame the poorly maintained ponds on the contractor that was awarded the bid. They found out the hard way that it takes a lot of coin to maintain the ponds in the villages. So I’m assuming they’re skimping out on maintenance. It’s not always best to award the bid to the contractor with the lowest price.
The low water levels don’t help the situation. The water in shallow ponds are hotter than those big deep ponds. Add in all the fertilizer run off from the lawns and you have the perfect growing conditions for algae and submersed aquatics. Fail to maintain those ponds by treating the vegetation with expensive chemicals and you have the messy ponds that we have now.
