No one at Farragut’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting seemed surprised that a contractor found a large hole along a leaking stormwater drainage system at The Farm at Willow Creek during a repair project.

During its meeting Thursday, Oct. 27, the Board approved a change order in the amount of $19,546.90 for the project, which began earlier this year.

Town engineer Darryl Smith said contractor Blalock & Sons Inc. “ran into a fairly large void” in the subdivision.

The Farm at Willow Creek has had numerous woes related to its leaking stormwater drainage system for years, including a road collapse in the subdivision and a sidewalk collapse along Evans Road.

Even the linked article doesn't provide a clue as to the whereabouts of this giant hole. As the adage goes, 'pay me now or pay me later,' and pay they will - not just here but anywhere the infrastructure is ignored.
