Water precaution
 

I receive DAILY emails in regards to the water here at the Villages -
VCDD e-Notification: Precautionary Boil Water Notices due to BACTERIA in the water - Village Center Service Area

I have been receiving these notices since May - I have bottled water for drinking and cooking - but I have a BIG concern on using the tap water for showering and brushing my teeth with all these "Precautionary Boil Water Notices" Does anyone have an insight onto what is going on??? Am I over reacting??

Sounds like someone is trying to sell you something

No - These are emails from the water plant and the district Utility company - No selling -

If you are sure they are from the water dept.,give them a call to find out why you are receiving these emails.

Notices?
 

Would love to see what the email address of the sender looked like. Sometimes they can really look official.

This is the sender email address no-reply@districtgov.org and this is the site
VCDD e-Notifications Sign Up

I am on the list to receive these notices and to say they are frequent or daily is a gross exaggeration.

I believe that this is another exaggerating negative post. I challenge you to send us the daily links you have received this week, OP.

They only send them as a "boil water notice" when a line has been broken and they give the vicinity and street of the break.

I receive these notices DAILY- I cannot speak on the emails you receive GRACIEGIRL I can only state on the emails I am receiving. Honestly I do not appreciate your comment indirectly calling me a liar - BEWARE The internet bully is in full force tonight!!!!!! It's SAD that someone can't come onto this site and ask a question without receiving a negative comment from GRACIEGIRL!!! So sick of the nonsense!!! And I am sure the Graciegirl Posy will attack me now too!!

Show us this weeks emails.

Blusky could someone have signed you up to be mean or playing a prank on you. It does look real to me. Maybe you can get off the email list. I would if I could.

Since there are 4 different districts to choose for the water notification perhaps the OP lives in a different district than others on the list.

I want to see the emails the OP has received this week.

NOT BECAUSE I HAVE TO GRACIEGIRL BUT TO PROVE A POINT SEE THE EMAILS I RECEIVED THIS WEEK. TAKE NOTICE OF THE DATES!!!!! AN EMAIL WAS RECEIVED IN MY EMAIL BOX DAILY!!!!!!! NOW WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSE NOW????

I am going to act a peace keeper. OP see if you can double check which areas (VCDD) you have signed up for. I took a look at the site, and I have been signed up for over a year, and have never received a notice yet (VCDD 9). I have seen some recent news about some water problems, so if you were accidently signed up for several or all VCDDs this might explain the large number of notices. There are a lot of options on the site for notices. I would suggest going in, check to boxes you really want notices and see what happens, please let us know the results.

The ones you posted are all in the same place.(Tarrson Drive etc) Have you really received different ones daily, every day since May??????

HERE ARE MORE EMAILS GRACIEGIRL!!! It's PATHETIC that your behavior and attitude is allowed and tolerated on this site!!!! Shame on you - YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER

Graciegirl - I am done with you and no longer engaging in conversation with someone that is clearly not nice. Take your negativity somewhere else!!!

Does anyone have an insight onto what is going on??

Yes.... the people at the number listed on the bottom of each e-mail you posted. :shocked:

"If you have any questions, you may contact District Utility Customer Service at

WOW!!!!! Thank you for that information CWGUY!!!! How did I miss that??!!! LOL!!!! I thought this site was to exchange information - I thought perhaps someone on the site had some information they can share- I am so sry that I asked a question here - Lesson learned - For being the FRIENDLIEST TOWN!!! THIS IS NOT A FRIENDLY SITE!!!! Ciao!!!

Not exactly a positive approach and frankly, personal attacks show your ignorance. I suspect we will have to tolerate your attitude since you are a newbie, at least for awhile.

Is there not a lot of water main work going on in TV now? Any one of those projects is likely cause for a notice to be sent out. Between that work, routine maintenance and the unexpected, am not surprised that the OP gets those emails.

bluesky2015 - Calm yourself! You just joined TOTV in July and have but 13 posts! With comments such as yours you won't make it around here for long!

If you are 'sick of the nonsense' in such a short time, perhaps you should block any poster who upsets you so.

I read and re-read gracie's post and there is nothing..
 

offensive or overbearing about them. The fact that you went to that website and signed up for notices for all the areas and not just your own is your own fault and getting upset at someone who tries nicely to point you in the right direction is...well frankly....wrong...especially since you were wrong and overreacting due to your own mistake....clearly not someone who likes to be corrected...hopefully you'll get over it as I'm sure there's a nice responsible bone in your body...

I can vouch for the first poster saying these Precautionary Water Boil Notices come too often. Not daily, but too often.

I get probably one per week, and I think that frequency would be cause for concern if my street or nearby ones had been affected, but they haven't been.

I just erase them and pay no attention once I see the addresses affected, but I can see why somebody getting them multiple times per week would be concerned like the first poster is.

This is the only utility notice I signed up for (not various regions of TV as somebody suggested above), in addition to street closures, job openings and rec center closings (lots of pool closures come):

e-Notification
Subject: Precautionary Boil Water Notices - North Sumter Utility

:ohdear: Wrong way.... :coolsmiley: Right way....
:1rotfl:

I think everyone needs to remember the pitfall of sitting behind a keyboard anonymously and posting rude/insensitive/derogatory comments that one would never say to a person's face. GG is very exuberant about defending TV and TOTV, and she can back up her posts with links to that information. She has helped guide hundreds of "newbies" on all aspects of life in TV, and after 25,000 posts I think she has some idea of what she is saying; she has been an invaluable asset to TOTV and TV. I think a personal attack of this nature, especially from a member with limited experience was totally uncalled for. The idea of any forum is the free exchange of ideas, information and opinions, not an opportunity to vent rude and boorish comments.

Boil water notices are no big deal. Whether they are here in TV or back home. Simply unsubscribe from these email notifications if they bother you. If you are ever affected by a boil water notice you will be notified. Move on and enjoy life. ��

You need to find out if the boil notices are for you or if you are also getting the boil notices for 55,000 houses that are also in The Villages. Maybe you signed up for more information that is not your concern.

That's the people to ask. I think others in this thread gave the same advice.

What I have found is that when I am confused, no matter who I called, when I tell them that I appreciate them taking the extra time and I know working with seniors is not easy, everyone has assured me that they will help me and not to worry. Everyone has been very respectful to me down here.

Seems to me that you were asking a honest question and not putting TV down.The last two sentences reflect a humbleness that seems to have been over looked by some posters.

Being challenged the way you were is something that would have put me on the defensive. I do hope you at least got some info that was helpful for all the trouble you've gone through.

I have to agree with POINTER. The OP simply posed a help question and her veracity was challenged. While hoping not to come across as being judgmental my preference would have been to contact the originator of the e-mail.

Nothing at all wrong with the OPs original question. It's what the exchange deteriorated into that lacked some decorum.
