Now they shut off the water at the dog parks?
 

After all this time they decide to shut off the water at the dog parks today? Things are opening up all around the state and they decide to do this now? The dogs need water. I can't believe it.

Take your own water. There aren't any public water fountains running in TV....if we want water (golf, tennis, pickleball etc) we take our own.....why doesn't that work.

We have two cats and neither of them allow us to go to Dog parks. Where is the water that was shut off??? Why do you think it was shut off? Who is in charge of dog parks?

Bogie Shooter will know who is in charge. Sometimes Champion knows stuff like that too.

I am sorry this happened. Do you think some nasty soul has shut them off at ALL dog parks? Or just the one you use? Please get back to us with why you think someone would DO that.

Are you a snowbird and just returned to find that public water fountains are turned off here?

Whilst we were in TV (May through August) the water fountain at Laurel Manor sports pool was working whereas that at Mulberry was taped off. No idea why the difference, unless Mulberry was broken.

No, they definitely did it. There are locks on the faucets! Everything worked yesterday.

:shrug: Anyone besides me think it's possible someone complained they were NOT shut off? :popcorn:

We take our dogs to Mulberry Grove dog park. I noticed the water was shut off a couple days ago. We have been bringing our own water so it didn't make any difference to us, but most of the other dog owners were taken by surprise. It doesn't make any sense unless some of the dog owners were drinking out of the hoses. Senseless decision-making seems to be a side effect of Covid.

A place to call to get the real answer......

I can't believe it either! In addition to water there should be dog food and treats available because they get hungry also. Why not a dog groomer station where Fluffy and Muffy could get a bath and haircut after running around playing with all the other doggies? :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

yes, it does seem odd that this is just happening now...when things are beginning to open up

perhaps the usage was so small that the individual reviewing the bills didn't notice that those lines hadn't been turned off previously

Maybe dog park managers are smarter than the people managers? ;)

Agree.

America's Snarkiest Hometown.

That's not the point. Is this a deterrent to having figs? This is irresponsible from The Villages.

So? Bring your own. Do you ever hesitate to bring a bottle of water for yourself when you go to a park, golfing or any activity away from home and shops.? Problem solved. Easy peasy
