My opinion is that this whole area of middle western Florida is equally subject to sinkholes. The widely publicized one of a man falling to his death near Tampa has struck fear into all of us. We have no more or no less sinkholes here in The Villages in any particular place or Village and there is really no good way to know what or when one will happen.

They usually are repaired with what they call " grout" but I think is concrete, and then filled in. Usually after repair the area is safe or safer than it was before.

My opinion.
