Description
Pond/retention area is overrun with algae. The pump is clearly not working and what was once a haven for birds has become an eyesore. It is not properly maintained and is becoming a hazard to the wildlife.

Pond receives untreated runoff from FDOT and County roadways
County or FDOT should take over maintenance of pond and pump station

FDOT is the primarily contributor of both untreated storm-water and sediment to this privately maintained pond prior to discharge to the aquifer thru a county owned sinkhole.
The county is a secondary contributor because of CR95 discharges and even charges the property owner for storm-water basin maintenance via their recently enacted storm-water tax system.
The pump is designed to lower the amount of time CR 95 is underwater after a major storm event
Does the property owner need to put both FDOT and the County on notice ??
Please ask the County storm-water department take another look at the issue
