SRCA LAKES AND PONDS UPDATE

During the unfortunate drought this summer, Stonebridge Ranch lakes and ponds suffered the effects of low water levels. Read ahead for a few facts regarding our lakes and ponds, and how we are treating and maintaining them.

Unpleasant Odors – Low pond and lake levels can lead to unpleasant odors. During droughts, oxygen levels are too low to decompose organic matter. This causes the odor. As the drought and hot temperatures subside, SRCA staff and vendors will be able to treat this issue using algae therapies that are safe for aquatic life.

Trash Pick-Up Efforts – During drenching rain following a drought, trash can accumulate in ponds and lakes. Most of this trash comes from storm drains. This happened to several SRCA lakes and ponds recently. SRCA staff worked promptly and efficiently to remove the trash. SRCA encourages all residents and guests to properly dispose of their trash while enjoying common areas.

Low Water Levels Create Fountain Problems – When water levels are low, fountains can malfunction. In drought conditions, fountain pipes will lower to the bottom of the pond, causing them to pump mud instead of water. This puts stress on the motor. All issues of affected SRCA fountains are currently being addressed. Due to industry demand, some fountain components will take four to six weeks to be delivered. SRCA staff and vendors are monitoring all Association fountains daily and repairs are in progress.

SRCA appreciates the patience of our residents as we bring our lakes and ponds back to normal conditions. For questions or concerns regarding our lakes and ponds, please email STONEB@Ciramail.com.
