Village Sewage Treatment Plants Stinks

[sparky]

How do the people who live near Bogart golf course put up with the smell? The one near the RV storage off El Camino is bad but the one off Buena Vista near the Village of Liberty Park is real bad.

My first husband (passed away) was a Wastewater Plant Manager. ALL wastewater facilities have a smell to them!!!!!

I often asked how he could stand the smell. His reply, "What smell?" The staff gets used to the smell after awhile. I never did, having only to visit occassionally.

I would never live near a Wastewater Plant knowing what I know.

Where are the exact locations of the sewer plants?

Some WWTP's are more stinky than others - depends on how good the equipment and operators are.

Excellent question.

Especially important for those who are thinking of buying a gently used resale home in TV.

Where are these sewer plants and what are they called on the VILLAGES map?

Can anyone give a mapping number so that we can locate them???

[kittygilchrist]

My dad worked at a paper mill and smelled like rotten eggs after work. We said, "It smells like money to me."

[billethkid]

I understand the smell is due to crappy operations!!

btk

[graciegirl]

Even Gary Morse can't make **** disappear.

We have friends in Liberty Park and have never noticed a smell. I asked them abut it and they don't smell anything either. The plant is across the street so maybe that makes a difference.
To the OP - did you smell something there?

Looking back on this and similar posts, no one on TOTV has been able to provide a map (or a link to a map) of water/sewer treatment facilities in TV. Is this a secret that only the TV salespeople have the answer to? Please, can someone post some concrete info and a map - thank you.

p.s. please note that I am not debating over whether a certain area stinks or not. I just want a map. :)

[Golf-Tinker]

Thought you were stuck there for ......

[quirky3]

Yes, I have plans to leave Fleming Island. Thanks for caring. Got a map of the water/sewer treatment facilities in TV?

[KathieI]

This has been an ongoing conversation for many years on TOTV.

Here's a link of one of the conversations. Do a search for "Water treatment" or "Sewage Treatment" on here and quite a few threads will come up.

Just google The Villages, Fl. Click on the map. Click on satellite image and zoom map until you see an image like this. That is the water plant at Buena Vista and Bonita Blvd. They will all look similar.

Hi KathieI - I spent quite a lot of time today searching in TOTV and the internet and could not find the simple map I am looking for. That led me to post my question.

I have looked all through the threads - thanks for the link to the threads though.

Still - doesn't anyone have a map of the water/sewage treatment facilities in TV?

Quirky, Just look up two posts above this one.

[quirky3]

Thanks for your suggestion, Indy! I do appreciate that.

In the many threads I read, people referred to maps that the TV sales people had, and that's what I was hoping to find.

I have not seen one of those either. But if I find one, I will let you know.

Thanks again!:thumbup:

That's odd cause I can smell it when I drive by in my golf cart. Not always, but sometimes it's very strong.

Well, Indy's deal is a start, Quirky (pun intended). I have to replace our TV map with a newer version (plus "one of us" lost the old one). If you PM me your address, I'll send you one.

I'll give you a hint; two are near the two Villages RV/Boat parking lots (also known as the "Toy Lots"), and one is on Buena Vista next to Bacall Golf course. Usually they are hidden behind mounded dirt and shrubs and surrounded by chain link fencing with a locked chain link gate as access. Some actually have a "Water Treatment Plant" type of sign near the entrance road to the facility.
Otherwise just follow your nose on a hot day, and you will find them.:ho:

I know where they all are, but Quirky2 wants a map that shows where they are located.

I've looked all over the VCDD website and haven't found a map as yet. I don't believe I've ever heard that there was one.

The only person I think who could answer this question would be Villages07, she know everything!!!

I toured the water plant off of Buena Vista> its an amazing operation It not only purifies sewer waste it has a byproduct of fertilizer that is sold

[Jejuca]

As far as smelling it as you drive by on the golf cart - perhaps it is something else you are smelling.
Rubicon - did the plant smell as you were touring it?

[golf2140]

The smell is to remind those that think thier S--t doesn't stink, that it does. :MOJE_whot:

Milwaukee is known for beer, sausage, sauerkraut and its famous after-product, Milorganite. It's a dry fertlizer sold around the country, including Home Depot in The VIllages. It is a favorite of golf courses because it is natural and relatively slow acting. I've smelled it being used on our courses. It has a distintive oder immediately after application but rapidly dissipates.
I guess the motto of Milwaukee Seweage Commission is; "What goes around, comes around.":a040:

The National Zoo in Washington DC had it's own brand of natural fertilizer sold under the name of " Zoo Doo".

Yes! Thank you! Several maps in there are very useful - show all kinds of things. I will definitely save this link! Thanks again.

When we looked and bought here in 2005, we were told, by residents, that the sewage smell is especially bad in the Liberty Park area, as the treatment plant is near the firehouse in that area. Of course, a windy day will blow it in a particular direction, as well. We stopped and asked the firemen if they smelled it, and they said, "oh, yes"! It's all about location, location, location!

[janmcn]

Why was this treatment facility ever placed in that location, in the middle of a residential area right next to a golf course? As was stated previously, the sewage treatment plants north of 466 are on the perimeter, next to RV parking facilities. This one should have been built somewhere out of sight and smell, on the outskirts.

[BarryRX]

When I play Bogart, there are days when I feel sorry for the folks that paid extra for a golf course property and have to put up with the smell. On some days it can be quite strong and on other days not noticeable at all.
