I can remember in 2011 having received many letters, cards, phone calls for water tests, my neighbor even spent $3100 to have one installed. A week later I'm was on my front porch and I watched water shoot out the side of his villa and run down my driveway.

My favorite was a lady who called and said she was from The Villages official welcome committee and she had a $25 Home Depot gift certificate to give me. I said, I'm pretty busy, can you just mail it to me. She said, unfortunately I can't do that, I've got to give it to you in person. Also while I'm there you'll be happy to know I have a water test kit that I can show you how to use.
