If another lighted pool shows up in The Villages I will guess that it will be a new one in a developing area or a complete replacement of a pool which has gone bad for some reason.

Would it really require all that? I'm not sure that those advocating "lighted" pools are talking about underwater lights inside the pool, wouldn't just overhead lighting be adequate? If the pool perimeter needs to be better defined at night, could fiberoptic LEDs be drilled in above the water line and accomplish that goal at minimum cost? I don't even know what the pool construction is, so just throwing it out there.
