Default What is on Hemingway GC?

There's a building (or something) on the Hemingway Golf Course near the 1st and 3rd green referred to as North Sumter County Utility. Right off of Morse, south of Bonita. What is it?

I think this answer is partially correct...more likely this is a facility that modifies behavior using electroshock therapy....everyone goes in with other worldly stresses...everyone comes out seeing the beauty of TV and all the friends that can be had.

For a little more serious answer to the original question....

The round dome in the ground is a water tank. There are several wells drilled in that area that supply some of our potable drinking water. Pumped up from the well, goes into a water treatment facility, then into the storage tank for distribution.

This is all drinking water...not wastewater or storm water.

I just finished week 5 of a 6 week Resident Academy Class sponsored by the CDD government. Week 2 was on utilities ...including all the stormwater management, wastewater treatment, etc. It's quite an operation.

CDD Resident Academy: 2 hours a week for 6 weeks, free, and sign up via the Customer Service #. Local CDD government, utilities, HR/Budget/Finance, Recreation/Golf, Public Safety/Fire, Community Stds/Prop Mgmt. A great follow-on to the Intro to CDD class they offer weekly, especially for those who want to learn more about how the Villages operates.

This course has nothing to do with the Developer, real estate, building houses, future plans....mainly current procedures, maintenance, operations, and governance.

Thank you Villages07! The CDD Resident Academy sounds as though it is an interesting and worthwhile course. I'll have to look into it when I get there.

Thank you for your response!
