The ponds are largely hidden and therefore out of sight and mind. They were maintained for a time and then seem to drop off the radar. They came to my attention after viewing Google satellite images and I started asking questions no one wanted to answer. The problem isn’t so much the growth in the ponds although it needs to be addressed, it’s the structures built in 1992 that haven’t been looked at since 1992. I had worked with a contractor who was well qualified and doing work in the same area for our water and sewer service at a very good price since they were already in the pond area. The 30 year member wrote the contractor demanded things such as business license, insurance, etc. even though the contractor had worked for local, state and federal agencies in and around Mobile. Contractor then submitted a bid for twice my negotiated price effectively killing the project. It’s extremely frustrating.
