We are also in the "process" of the discussion and quotation of an in ground pool. All the previous information is very helpful to us and I wanted to share something that was made aware to us during one meeting with a pool consultant. IF upon the initial excavation of digging that they discover underground cables in the immediate area of the potential poolsite that the developer a.k.a. The Villages will not have the underground issues resolved from the cable, or electric companies, you, the homeowner would bear the expense of rerouting said underground cables, that could potentially add $2-5 k to your pool project. At least it was mentioned as a potential situation so as not to be alarmed if a rather long process of rerouting might occur. I didn't like to hear that the developer won't address that issue, it's your property so therefore its all on you even though the utility companies were supposed to adhere to strict setback guidelines. I'd love to see some time frame updates of other villagers pool building timelines, issues and thoughts. Thanks
