If you have questions about water management for a particular retention pond you can call Property Management at 352-753-4022. They will send a representative out to talk to you. I have found them very responsive. They do tend to keep the retention pond in back of my house a bit lower than I would prefer but I did understand their reasoning once they talked with me. Regarding grass, it tends to go dormant when there are dry conditions. We are still in the dry season and have also had below average precipitation this year. The rainy season is June, July, August, and September and the retention ponds will refill and the grass will green up.

Now we not only have half empty or totally empty ponds everywhere except the new areas of course, but they’ve stopped running the sprinklers too so all of the grass common areas (at least down south here) are dry, brown, and ugly. What a crazy, nonsensical system.
