Unhappy 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??

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

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.

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 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.
