[QUOTE=mickey100;597138]Interestingly, I just found the following on Wikipedia, which supports the idea that catch basin ponds can lead to sinkholes: "Some sinkholes form when the land surface is changed, such as when industrial and runoff-storage ponds are created; the substantial weight of the new material can trigger an underground collapse of supporting material, thus, causing a sinkhole."[/QUOTE]
That is interesting Mickey. I wonder how far out the "supporting material" would extend. As far as I know, Insurance Companies in The Villages don't currently charge higher premium on policies issued to people who back on ponds.
