I remember three, no maybe four years ago we got seven inches of rain in 24 hours and there was ONLY some standing water in the road in either Caroline or Marllory, but everyone else commented on how well the carryoff systems here work. The sprinklers come on in all of the common areas when the water in the retention ponds rise, to keep them from overflowing.
I really am just a huge fan, kids. I don't have to sell this place, there aren't enough lots to go around and people are standing in line. I just have to say that I think the opposite is true. If the grading isn't right, which was the case in our neighborhood, "they" came back and put in a French drain, and regraded. It happened to two lots in our not quite three year old village.
I really don't mean to start an argument, but that is my opinion. Happinow had some grading issues I remember. The mostly sand base here usually wicks away water in an hour after a gully washer.
