These aren’t caused by that so these are not sinkholes. The Villages does not have a sinkhole problem.

Instead, the Villages has a problem with infrastructure which was apparently built to minimum standards and is now failing resulting in depressions, empty retention ponds, and costly repairs. These aren’t naturally occurring sinkholes they are man made problems.

And somehow making that distinction is supposed to be much better for marketing!

Exactly. Up north we had a sewer line break after 80 years of use. Apparently in sunny Florida they don’t last that long. 11 years for this line seems like a short time span to me.
