3. I do not live in an incorporated section so I am not subject to Wildwood rules
4. These restrictions apply to systems that use potable water while my system does not
Item 2. The Villages does not do anything to preserve the retention pond levels. The ponds were built to contain water in times of heavy rain that would otherwise cause flooding. The less water there is in the ponds means there is less chance of flooding due to the increased capacity to hold more overflow. They were also NOT built to used as a scenic backdrop to homes.
