The front page of our local paper had a great article today about the water diverting system we have here in The Villages. The infrastructure was created to specifically divert water from the detention basins on to the golf courses. The system worked like a charm during and after Irma. It did what it was created to do......keep our homes safe from flooding.

Let the golfers complain about the courses being closed.
