Why is the Home Owner Association required to maintain the Wetlands?
The wetlands are the responsibility of every homeowner that lives in Tallgrass subdivision upon purchasing a home in the subdivision. The builder, Town & Country, Army Corp of Engineers and The Dupage County Wetland Preservation District formed the wetlands as a requirement upon destroying the waterway that went through the area in order to build the subdivision. The County has direct jurisdiction over wetlands operation and then the Army Corp of Engineers! Consequently, we are now required to maintain them. In addition, a poorly maintained wetland can lead to the deterioration of property values in a subdivision.
