Engineers and Contractors will be here shortly to tell us the retention pond scheme is perfect.
These things are either not properly built, reviewed prior to turning over to HOA or maintained by HOA. A good example is right off the bat there is never any prevention measures to control silting while the pond edges grow grass or while all the houses are built. Another good example is looking at HOA records, are they ever even discussing maintaining them. There appear to be zero rules around these ponds except an engineer at some point said this or that.
The entire thing is a shame. It is all about money and the homeowners are left with the problems. They have no construction, engineering or legal experience so how can they ever challenge these things.

Do you bitch at engineers whenever you don’t take care of your housing systems? HOAs are on the hook to maintain these systems. Period.
To whoever else said it, Detention vs retention ponds are entirely different things, also

Same story here in Santa Rosa COunty Florida. Retention and detention ponds are considered the cure-all and they are barely bandaids. The county doesnt have enough people to maintain the ones they are responsible for much less the ones HOAs are supposed to maintain.
