Did you ever notice all the pipes sticking out of the ground when the land on which Brownwood sits was developed? I believe the developer pumps cement in them to stabilize the ground which isn't done in building new homes.

A lot of dirt is moved when building sites are prepared and I question whether it is being allowed to settle long enough before new homes are built on them?
You were looking at under slab plumbing, NOT sinkhole prevention.

Ha! I empathize with you. The other day, I had an appointment at the VA and ran into both Maryland fans on the way. Two separate contacts. This is totally getting out of control. Let me know if you happen upon a NC fan down here. Not too many willing to move away from that haven. Ooops, I apologize for deviating from the topic.

The map doesn't show quite all the way to highway 42 at the north end of TV. Has there been any activity up there?

Default where'd the data come from

I'm curious where you got the data on the location of the sink-holes?

When a hole appears in the ground in The Villages, it is discussed and typed about because we are interested in everything that happens and we all have an opinion and none of our opinions can be changed. So it goes into print, the local news media talk about it and it becomes common knowledge.


This is also true of people who have sex in the bandstand and on top of electrical boxes. Some think it is a good thing and others are shocked.


Even wrong information is bandied around about the high rate of STD's here and although it doesn't hurt our reputation as a beautiful place with nice people, it doesn't do it any good.

My pipes were pumped full of nitrous oxide I guess because I am still laughing at the thought...

There is a new sinkhole in Village Alhambra on Privada drive. It was 10 feet wide and occurred in the bedroom of the home. The home has a red condemned sticker on the door. I think the address is 2581 Privada

I hope you are wrong. Only your third post with such upsetting information


In the bedroom you say....like the only person that I know of in the news that died from a sinkhole over near Tampa?


Was this in the news?


Posters who live in Alhambra, is this true?
