IMO i do think HOAs need to plant for this BUT i do not agree the blame for not, should be passed to the engineers and or developer.
The Developer runs the HOA and sets the budgets, Dues and Rules before turning it over to the unsuspecting homeowners who thought the Dues would cover all expenses. A picture is painted and when the Developer leaves the homeowners are left with the problems.
My only argument is above and the Developer is financially motivated to not have Dues set high and make things look as rosy as possible for new homeowners.

when people buy their home they expect to have to maintain their home. they are not expected to turn into engineers and lawyers and run HOAs.
Maybe I am different.

Actually people are not even expected to maintain their homes anymore and that is the reason HOAs got so popular. So now we are expecting these people to maintain drainage?

Look i get your gripe, i lived on a pond for years and urged the HOA to do maintenance on the pond before the issue became to great, to no avail. But you are placing blame in the wrong direction.

Most HOAs are ran based on a budget that is set based on Dues that were set by Developer. I am sure every HOA would want to bring in experts and have everything ran without a care in the world as far as money goes.

I’m getting ready to dredge a pond in my SD that has not been maintained for 20 plus years. The cost will be around 65k and will be shared by all homeowners

Because I am not part of an HOA and don’t know, can this not be changed? Can a 50 home subdivision HOA not say “hey we need $10,000 this year we’re proposing assessing a $200 yearly fee”?

Of course

Depends on the HOA docs. Most newer ones are set up to where a majority vote of the members in attendance at an official HOA meeting can change the assessment.

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.
Most of the time the maintenance of these is never set up properly or even discussed with HOAs once established. Therein lies the issue.

It should be discussed as the plan is filed with the parish. I just pulled up an old stormwater management plan I submitted to EBR. Part of the requirements for plan approval is the following:
quote:
Executed and recorded “Private Water Quality Maintenance Covenants” (PWQMC) will be required for all BMPs onsite prior to construction plan approval.

I'm going to avoid calling out firms by name here, but there are 2 very prevalent firms in Baton Rouge that turn in absolute trash models regularly.

Firms often do extremely inadequate validation and calibration of their models, as they are more interested in giving their client, the developer, the answer they need for approval than giving them the correct answer.
As an old professor of mine use to say, a shite model gives shite results. And if these are going against code why havent you reported them?
