Drainage Pond Maintenance

PRPRISCS. Summary: Issue is the aerator pump which COA does not maintain. Details: On July 7, 2026, I called the citizen to get more information regarding the pump she was referring to in the complaint. The citizen identified herself as a newly elected board member of the Homeowner's Association. She that she and others on the new board were not given any continuity regarding the pond maintenance but that the aerator appeared to not be functioning. This site is one that I recently resolved a similar complaint about and I told the Homeowner's Association board member that I would forward my emails regarding discussions I had with the property manager. I told her that since the City of Austin does not maintain the aerator, because it was not part of the site plan, we would not be taking any action. She understood that and asked if she could ask me future questions about stormwater control measures in general. I said that she could. We discussed dogs being allowed in the pond area and I said that we did not disallow it but would cite a violation if we observed excessive pet waste, which I had not previously and did not today in my visit. I told her that there could be a potential issue with pets and ponds if blue-green algae were to form on the water. However, I told her I had not observed that previously (I also did not today). They are looking at cutting off the maintenance of the aerator and pond in general and I told her that COA will maintain it for all plan-specified issues; however, not the aerator or things that might arise because of cessation of the aerator, which could include algal growth.
