Utilities - water
 

Hello - I'm a newbie not yet moved into TV.
I received info on SECO and TECO for electric and gas.
Who supplies water & sewer?


Thank you in advance for sharing info.

Central Sumter Utilities. Water (both potable and irrigation), sewer, and trash collection are billed with your amenity fees monthly. Figure around $220-$240/ month all totaled depending on lot size and water usage.

:welcome:
A bill from The Villages for sewer, water and garbage, combined with your amenity fee, will soon arrive in your mail.

Wish I had said that:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

It's OK, BF. I realize as the temperature drops below -30F in August, the brain works slower. Then there is the distraction of fighting off polar bears attacks as well.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

It must be the time difference.......................

Expect a $100 mailbox setup fee to be on your first bill along with water/sewer/amenity/trash.

"WATER UTILITY" and slowly I turned step by step....:D

Have not heard of the $100 set up fee? Is this for your postal mailbox?

Is that similar to a left-handed skyhook? My only memory is getting two mailbox keys at closing at no charge.

I hope it's you that is right on this. A $100 fee to set-up your mailbox sounds way out of line. I'm closing at the end of the month so I'll be able to post my experience with this.

Suggestion
 

If, you are buying a NEW property in the villages request a copy of the paperwork BEFORE you go into closing They "allow" 15 minutes. The form is like 42 pages of legalese. As I recall you will sign on page two that yo have read and understood page one. Aside: our last closing, many years ago was more like 4 pages.

I would ask for a list of all fees. If, I recall there was a deposit on the electronic gate card that you get back when you sell

:undecided: Not 3?

We got two mail box keys and two gate passes at no charge, that's it and we still have them.

Hum... Are these fees for new homes? When we purchased an existing home 4+ years ago, I don't recall paying a fee for 2 gates passes or for 3 mailbox keys. Yes please get a copy of the closing papers ahead of time to review. Especially the Deed Restrictions! :-)

Utilities information for all districts (regions) of TV, plus all other "city government"-type info is available at

Village Community Development Districts

And Utilities section is here:
VCDD Utilities/Amenities

Once you close, you will receive a bill in the mail for water (with irrigation water break-out amount), sewer, trash, and your monthly Amenities fee (about $150/mo). Our monthly bill totals about $200/mo for the services I listed here.

At the district website, there are Payment Options described here at this link. For example, you can put it on Autopay by Bank Draft; or set up other online methods of paying; and options are given for in-person payment options:
