Weeds and trees are not supposed to be in. Causing water to not fully drain . Rodent and mosquito issue

As stated in work request (see attachment). The County is responsible for the outfall structure in the pond and the infall pipes. Sediment was removed from the infall at 3 locations. The pond if not covered by an HOA would be referred to SWFWMD in Tampa. Probable contact would be Russ Martin. There also may be help with the County’s Adopt-a-pond.

Stormwater & Vegetation Management

I called swfwmd .they states timid not there responsibility . It was built and expanded by the county before their existence. As per the clerks website ,you can see the dissolving if the board that was here as well as the three liens a the county placed against it in 2007-9z when they were forgiven . So again there is no hoa here!!!
We saw the men here. They crushed the weeds in one spot and cut a channel through the silt .taking about one truck away and leaving the weeds! This only shows how much silt was left behind . The weeds and trees that are causing the problem were not even removed!
As of today the water is still there. According to the rules in the site unwanted and non native vegetation and silt must be removed to facilitate. Absorption within the 72 hr period.

If there was an hoa here,The county would fine us for the condition that this pond is in . It is the only one like it around here ,and the only one with 20 foot trees! So the only answer is its not ours ? So it's just going to revert back to an overgrown swamp? Or we on our own ,not trained in tree removal or the regulations regarding should just go in and clear it out own way? And hope we do it right,and no one gets hurt ?

Called homeowner and told him we are working on ownership issue.

Drainage Investigation and Asset Management, Field Coordinator

That's funny! I am the homeowner. And NOBODY called me!!!!

Wow !!!! If your gonna put something in please be truth full. My number is listed in you database .

25 days later and the pond is finally dry. Come see all the sediment in the way.all around the invasive weeds and dead trees that don't belong.
The grass around the pond that's apparently nobodies is almost as tall,cause it hasn't been mowed in 8 weeks

Here a photo showing the massive amount of sediment being caused by the invasive weeds and trees. There is only one small channel cut .leaving all the invasive vegetation behind still causing back ups and delays in drainage
