Champagne Pond is polluted, kapohogal, but if you're a resident then it's your fault! It's like everyone in the community knows this except for the residents of Beach Lots. The cess and septic systems are routinely flushed at high tides. I've been at the Pond when the tour groups came there, and I, like everyone else who isn't a resident including the Trib reporter, am happy to report that they didn't stay more than 45 minutes. There was one group of about 12-14 in the morning and another of the same size in the afternoon. After reading all the info on the situation it feels like the residents are getting desperate to keep their gated community closed off to everyone else while taking no steps to clean up the real cause of the water pollution.
