IMO they eventually leak and may cause ground collapse down to underground cavity.

I don’t understand how big utilities drain/transfer pipes can be ran between houses less than 15 yards apart and be legal. IMO any leaking/digging work on those pipes between properties are liability. IMO you think there would have been 20 yard or so easement from property lines? If I was buying house I’d look out front for street drain see if it’s running towards retention pond?
Some of the sink hole problems have been around ponds in recent years. I don't have an answer to your question but I would reach out to the Villages. There has to be a plan of how all the utilities were layed out when the Village was built.
