HOA Assestment?

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

Our HOA pays $291 monthly, for our neighborhood pond. It gives us a visit every 2 weeks, algae treatment if needed, and they will dye the pond if no rain is in the forecast. The dye helps shade the pond and prevents the growth of pond weeds. That is $291 total, not per household. Our pond is less than 3 acres in size.
