On one of my stays in TV I visited Terra Vista in the Crystal River area of Citrus county. A company salesman there told me the availability of fresh water was becoming an issue in central Florida, that Citrus county had plenty and that the growth of TV could or would be affected by its need for more and more water. He also told me the developers of TV had been trying to obtain water from Citrus county, that they had been turned down, that lawsuits had resulted and that the courts had so far denied TV access to the Citrus county water.

Now this was all verbal and clearly part of his sales pitch to get me to buy there (where I loved the houses but there was nothing to do and little shopping nearby). Nonetheless, it seems water and other environmental impact issues are more and more problems for future developments just about anywhere these days.
