I know some of the avid swimmers must journey to Gainesville and Clermont to get their laps in, because the Villages facilities are sub-par. Pool chillers should be installed in the sport pools where there is high demand for lap swimming and water aerobics, not the neighborhood pools. There are 12 sport pools, and at a cost of say $6K per pool you are talking $72K. It would certainly make more sense than spending $500K on a fake water tower/windmill.

If that is true, the pools should be closed in order to protect the residents.
Yep, always be careful when using health or safety as an argument to try to get something.
