Around, around and around we go. Every time a new excuse and another suggestion for me to fix the problem. For me it’s kind of the principle of the thing and wanting straight answers.
The latest letter from Mr. Ronald Hess says and I quote:
“This letter is in reference to the reported problem with your northern swale area. Our position remains unchanged and The Villages will not be taking further action. The low lying area is from denigration of the turf largely contributed to time of over irrigation. I would recommend replacing turf in this area and to continue to monitor irrigation usage.
I have enclosed irrigation history for neighboring properties that you may find useful in making informed decisions. Thank you for your inquiry.”
My issue is with swale areas on both sides of my property as I have reported many times to Warranty and Mr. Hess. I specifically recall that we covered watering by all parties on his first visit. It didn’t seem to be a major issue at that time.
I feel like asking him to present the watering figures for these properties when they we under The Villages control before being sold. My house was irrigated by them for 10 months or more before being sold to me. I presented this issue to them within four months of my ownership.
I suppose it’s time to move on and enjoy being alive. I would encourage all new owners of new houses to examine this issue as it will cost the home owner to resolve if needed.
