Description

Recently after heavy rains the pond down the street on the east side of the road overflowed into Sevenmile Creek via a drainage ditch, which is normal. But then a few days later it unexpectedly began to drain away. We could see a whirlpool where it was draining, and on the other side of the road, water could be seen welling up and forming a new pond. Now the original pond is a mud pit, something we've never seen happen. Since the pond drained under the road, I wonder if someone should check the integrity of the road substructure. Maybe this was an old drainpipe, or maybe it was done deliberately, but it's sure an eyesore now.
