HC MUD 341 Construction Update – January 6, 2025

Phase 3 of 2024-2025 construction is now beginning on Lake B across from the clubhouse.  As promised Phase 1 was completed before Thanksgiving and Phase 2 before Christmas.  Phase 3 is the largest portion of our project and includes replacement of drainage pipes into the lake and wall replacements. Please see the attached map for specifics.  The drainage pipe replacements are the removal of original metal pipes.  The new pipes are concrete.  The wall replacements are locations where we have wall separation.  The walls around the lake are approximately 5 feet tall and 12 inches thick.  As part of this project we are also removing several cypress trees where the “knees” of the trees are threatening structural integrity to the walls.  These removals are separate from the recent HOA pine tree removals.  The MUD intends to plant 9 new trees as a gift to the community as part of the final clean up of the project.

As you can see on the attached map, this latest major construction will also be done in phases.  Phase 1 and 2 (red and blue) will be on the south side of Lake B.  Because large construction equipment will be involved coupled with the narrow working area, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LAKE WILL BE CLOSED TO WALKERS UNTIL THE WORK IS COMPLETE.    The MUD understands this is an inconvenience, but it is for your safety.  Large equipment cannot see or hear you or your pet.  There will be open ditches that also present a hazard.  Signs will be posted notifying you of the closure.  You are welcome to walk on the north side of the lake (the side with the equipment trailer) unless notified otherwise.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

This project is part of the MUD’s ongoing efforts to have reliable water, sewer, and drainage.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact any member of the MUD Board directly or through our website at  www.hcmud341.org/contact.

We at HC MUD 341 wish you and your families a very Happy New Year.
