Then it starts all over again with the “system” lowering our finally full, or half full ponds again. They need a system that lowers only the ponds that are actually full, but I guess that would mean boots on the ground checking each pond rather than the automated system they use everywhere whether it’s needed or not.
Also, I agree about the search feature here. It sucks.

So from experience of the last 17 years. The Pond across the street from our home in LSL is approximately 1.5 acres. The sprinkler were running for 6 days prior to 2017. We could see the in/out pipes, water was 14’ below cresting line.
We watched that pond not only crest, but water making it over the sidewalk, into the road.
We had water 10’ away from the back of our lanai. Yet no water ever entered our homes, thanks to the water management emptying those ponds.
So some think ponds are ugly half empty. Many see them as saving their homes from destruction.
