I said I don't see any flooding and was told it was further down. I can see the whole lake from my property, no flooding. After we moved her we found out that the water was being pumped to fill a lake on a golf course, because our lake has a natural spring in it. We paid a premium price for lake front property, which we no longer have. They keep the golf course lake filled so it looks nice, while our lake is now down to the lowest point ever. Also by the time we moved in, the pipe was gone, everything had been put underground, and we get to look at big green boxes and manhole covers for the pump! The Villages lied about many things!
May we assume that despite all that, you like it here enough to stay 24 years??????
