Alligator grass is over taking this city rainwater retention pond referred to as Timberlake in the Kings Grant subdivision. It is covering major portions of the pond, including the drainage pipes that traffic rainwater run-off from much of our city out-flowing to the bay. The major concern is that the storm pipes, channeling this water thru these city rainwater retention ponds, will become blocked from this pollution grass during a storm or upcoming hurricane season and surrounding neighborhoods will become flooded as happened in the Windsor Woods area during hurricane Matthew.
The water depth of this city rainwater retention pond has become decreasingly shallow due to city rain water runoff and sediment flowing into this lake over the years from new housing development & baseball park development. The city rainwater runoff entering from the south west end of the lake and flowing or exiting to the north east at the deepest it is about waist deep in the center with much of it shallower than 2 feet along the banks allowing this alligator grass to thrive & grow in abundance on the edges of the lake.
This alligator grass is also creating a huge breeding grounds for mosquitoes and the most recent concern and report of West Nile virus in our neighborhood (Oxford Lane/ 23452) makes this an immediate concern & public hazard.
