They indicated that some of the ponds can get quite smelly especially in the summer when they get low in level.

Is that true? Does anyone have any experience with this?
We have water behind our house with no stinky smells at all.

However, we looked at a house in a Village close to 466A. It backed on a pond with a terrible smell. There was a little building nearby. We thought perhaps it was a sewer treatment facility. Buyer beware.
