Bacall pond draining?
 
Looks like a potential major issue with the pond next to the 7,8 and 9 holes of the Bacall executive 9 on Canal Street. Water level way down, a small sink hole area to the right of the 8th green, and some heavy duty pumping equipment in place attached to a storm drain. Not running right now, but appears to be pumping water into the pond, rather than out of it. I could be wrong. Pond is at a very low level. Any ideas or information?

The villages have options to pump water to other retention ponds to irrigate various courses. This would be my w.a.g.

Never seen them use this method before. Large rented pumping units and large diameter hose running across the cart path. Pond is way below normal compared to others.

Many ponds are very low right now. Ours looks to be down by 3’. Drove up to VA clinic this week, and noticed all but one pond was very low. Palmer has one pond that is very high.

2 weeks ago they were all higher than normal. Either they are watering the courses more than normal, or moving a lot of pond water elsewhere
