Having lived in a river town and seen the effects of flooding, you would be happy to look at low pond levels rather cleaning flood mud from your home. I have been impressed by the water management of ponds and the flood prevention of the areas south of 441. When Irma came through and dropped a huge amount of rain on us, the water behind our house did not over flow the banks and come into our house.
If the system is near its maximum capacity, it takes a few weeks to lower it to give a buffer for the next storm. A hurricane can form and hit us in less than 7 to 10 days.
