Description

I was told this drainage ditch on the North East side of the pond at the front South Side of Chateux Woods belong to Pinellas County and that the drainage ditch was supposed to keep the pond water level at a certain low level. The level in the pond is way too low and all of the weeds on the bottom are showing and it looks really bad. The pond doesn't look too bad shortly after a rain storm but, a few hours later after a storm has passed, it looks bad. This drainage ditch is over 30 years old and may have sunk some due to normal erosion from the rain. It also looks like someone may have added three 5" or 6" drain pipes that go inside this as you see in the picture and that are at the same level as the pond is right now and I don't think those three drain pipes were there when that cement thing was initially put there but, I could be wrong. Can someone please come check this big cement ditch thing out and make sure it's draining properly and hasn't sunk some and is up to code? There used to also be a grill on the square drain that someone removed. I am worried the turtles might get into this ditch.
