Boil water alert for tall trees village
 

I would think with a water problem like that The Villages would put a front page alert out in the newspaper and broadcast it on the televison. That's what they do here in Michigan. Glad you spotted that, Barb, and are here to alert others.

Barb, excellent information.

A small article in the Sun regarding such an important alert? For shame! Unsafe water could cause serious problems in the elderly.

I certainly hope they contacted each individual homeowner affected by telephone or by posting a note on their door.

How Odd!
 

I would be very surprised if they did not notify each home in Tall Trees. Just that small blub would be extremely dangerous. Especially for someone like me, that never reads the Daily Sun.

Had a friend in Illinois that almost diet from bacteria in the water. He was very, very ill. :yuck:

Chels
Water contamination as a way to "diet"?....:crap2:
LOL...just funnin' with ya g/f.

We heard the water problem mentioned a few times on the radio Thursday. It also appeared scrolling across the bottom of the screen Thursday evening on VNN.

I thought all The Villages had the same water supply source. Does each individual village have its own water source?

Barb, please keep us posted if you read anything else about it.

tall trees water
 

I live in tall trees and there was a notice put in the ront door about 8 o'clock thuesday night, but how many people use the front door? We have not been told the water is ok as of Sat at noon. there are rumers about what happened but no one knows for sure.

I was wondering the same thing.......
 

:beer3:

I'm not sure if this is related....

But, on Thursday afternoon I was driving down Parr Drive and pretty close to where the Tall Trees entrance is there was water bubbling up on the grass on the north side of Parr Drive and an official looking guy standing over it. I suspect it was a water main break...perhaps due to the cold?

I am surprised that TV does not have a reverse 911 call system. This is a public notification system that will call all the homes within a defined area and play a recorded message such as a boil water alert. If you are not home then the system will leave a message on your answering machine.
