A sinkhole-damaged pond in the Village of Alhambra is draining again.
The drainage is taking place despite $100,000 in recent repairs at Lago De Leon.
“Our engineer has been contacted to visit the site to perform an analysis of the situation to determine cause and repair,” Assistant District Manager Kenneth Blocker said.
The repair work included the injection of 420 cubic yards of grout to fill in the sinkholes.
Over the past decade, CDD 2 had spent $78,000 repairing sinkholes at that particular pond. The recent $100,000 repair is being funded from CDD 2’s reserves.
Village of Alhambra residents packed the Aug. 10 CDD 2 Board of Supervisors meeting to express their unhappiness with the condition of the pond. At that meeting, Tom Clark, president of the Alhambra Social Club, said his biggest concern has been home values. He pointed out that some owners paid a $32,000 premium for the privilege of living on the pond.
