The District has received several inquiries over the last several days regarding depressions, sinkholes, and stormwater pipes.

Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of misunderstanding
regarding the causative factors, further intensified by the misinformation on social media.

I have to say, that was pretty solid answer and there's not much there that I would disagree with.

When I responded earlier, that I don't think the quality of work performed is the same as in a major metro area, I should have conditioned that, with my frame of reference, which is the Northeast. The Northeast deals with an entirely different set of circumstances and weather conditions than here in Florida, so it would only stand to reason, their constructions standards would be significantly different.

It was encouraging to hear that the District knows they've had trouble keeping up with maintenance and inspections. Inspections and maintenance are a critical component to keeping a drainage systems as sophisticated as TV's, operating as designed.
