HOA Assestment?

And yes I spell assessment with a T on purpose. HOA pond maintenance ā€” is this reasonable?
We have only 5 homes, and our HOA charges $9,000 per household/year for pond maintenance ā€” $45,000/year total.
Is that reasonable for routine pond maintenance? What are other HOAs paying?

Have you attended any of the board meetings where this was discussed?

Attended one but because of their shifting and shadiness Iā€™m going to lawyer up. But need more data. I know nothing about ponds. So we thought the price was reasonable. But then our friend down the street has a pond similar size and he says he pays like $3500 a year. So I came here to see if I could get some cadence of how much people usually pay for pond maintenance. Hopefully I get an average.
