Saint Johns River Water Management
Refused to take any actions to alleviate flooding problems for Lake Kerr RIPOFF

Due to Hurricanes and extensive rains last year the water level in Lake Kerr in NE Marion is very near flooding height. I have lived here for 26 years and the water level has never been this high. Some septic systems are under water which makes them unusable.

I submitted a proposal to install a culvert that would lower the level of the lake by 12-18" and was told I should have realized when I bought the property that it could flood. When I bought the property I was told there was a culvert that would drain the excessive water from the lake. This turned out to be untrue.

I was also told that they [SJRWMD] would let mother nature take care of the water level of the Lakes.

There are other people around the lake who are having the same problem as I but either don't know who to contact or are scared to say anything
