Rain, Rain Go Away...
Have you ever wondered why the irrigation is running along a roadway for a mile or two or on a golf course for days after an extreme amount of rain has
fallen? Well, it’s due to the fact that the water retention areas throughout The Villages are above the recommended level and must be lowered. These
measures are in place to make room for more rain water, which is collected from the streets, yards and golf courses, should there be a second rain event
coming. This information is provided to you by our District Property Management Department.
Phone Book Recycling
