In The Village of Alhambra (off of El Camino Real across from the Savannah Center) the pond near our village entrance suffered from a sinkhole and drained out overnight (this was six months ago or so). The sinkhole was so bad that they actually had to repave several lanes of El Camino Real (the pond if right next to the road on one side and surrounded by "water view" lots in Alhambra on the other three). The repairs did not alleviate the problem totally so it because a "swamp view" with lots of new growth sticking up out of the two or three inches of water now in the pond. About two months ago, they tried another repair effort which, so far, seems to be working better. The water level is back to pretty much normal and seems to be holding - only time will tell. I actually have no idea if any of the two dozen or so homes bordering this pond went on the market while the pond was having all the troubles.
