Drainage Work Update June 2024

Last Fall, work was done to improve drainage from homes that back up to the east drainage swale and easement (between Tripoli and Delmonico) and west drainage swale and easement (between Argyle and Regatta). While residents have noted a substantial improvement in drainage another issue has arisen.  

​

The drainage pit located at the west end of the pond (now filled with rip rap) was insufficient in size and depth to hold the runoff and an overflow path  formed. Without intervention, over time it would deepen and widen causing erosion.  B&D Excavation corrected this issue.  Sod was removed from the riprap filled drainage pit to the pond.  The spillway was widened and dug out to create a path for the runoff.  It was filled with riprap as well. The “no swimming” sign and rescue equipment pole were relocated.  The HOA board hopes these additional steps will finally solve the problem. Thanks to the homeowners along the swales and around the large retention pond for dealing with this disruption.
