Resident urges board to address Lake 8 flooding after homeowner reports water intrusion
Summary
A River Ridge resident told the board that slow-draining water from the monument to halfway down Lake 8 is reaching foundations and causing costly repairs; the board said it will consider the problem in next year’s budget after engineers recommended work similar to the Seaside remedy.
Rich Batterberry, a resident and NVR of Oak Run, told the River Ridge Community Development District that rainwater pooling from the monument to halfway down Lake 8 takes a long time to recede and that residents are concerned the water is getting under home foundations; one homeowner incurred significant costs trying to mitigate water coming up through the floor.
Charlie Krebs, the district engineer, said the area was never re-graded and that completing work similar to recent projects at Seaside 1 and Seaside 2 could address the Lake 8 issues. Chair Bob Schultz said the matter will be considered during the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget process.
