Lakes can become liabilities if not maintainedThe prospect of a nice home situated on a lake in a suburban community is very appealing to prospective buyers. In many communities, the lakes continue to be an attractive feature as residents or homeowners associations diligently maintain the shared amenity. In other neighborhoods, what once was an asset has become an eyesore and a liability, for a variety of reasons. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations now require on-site retention of stormwater, making the lakes more than just an amenity. Cincinnati.com |
