Default Shoddy Infrastructure Construction

It sure looks like another sewer line due to construction error or inferior materials? What’s scary is the road was only constructed 12 years ago! One wonders how long they used the same materials, workers and techniques throughout our newer villages construction.

Wasn’t there a similar “sinkhole” this past summer in the even newer section of the villages in Monarch Grove? For sure we know the Villages are not new to the phenomenon.

If these were sinkholes, it wouldn’t surprise me either. There have been many confirmed sink holes inside the Villages. We lost the golf cart route where Meggison and Morse met for 2 weeks while they filled one. Homesites aren’t immune either, I really feel for the poor people who paid premium lot prices near Ashland that have since drained. Does anyone recall the 3 big holes that opened up inside the bubble in 2021? Villagers would do well to make sure their sinkhole insurance is up to date.
