Geez Captain CorrectAll. Your wife must be a saint.

Jerry and Linda know nothing more then anyone else.

Please don't leave because of this. He's on my "IGNORE" list and I recommend you do the same. There's lots of great opinions and advice on this site. Just put the black clouds on your IGNORE list.

Lol the water levels in the ponds N of 44 are down so far there are soon going to be plenty of "lagoon" beaches in the N parts of T V. Grab a towel, sand castle bucket and beach chair and make it a day right in your own areas without needing to head S of 44.

I saw a post a while back of people who paid premiums on "waterfront" lots complaining about the weeds and unkept grass growth in the water depleted ponds. Very upset waterfront lol owners.

Curious but how are the ponds doing from say St Catherine and Fenney areas towards 44?

I ask because I get that surface water and water management in general enables T V to build and fill ponds but I find it interesting, having just taken a jolly-ride through the new "center of T V", that the new sales areas by Eastport have full water levels in them, no beaches lol and other areas of T V are down what looks like about 5 - 6 ft.

I believe I have heard that T V moves water around. Just wondering if they need to move water back toward houses that they already sold or does the rain mysteriously fill sale areas first, wink wink?

There will be a hefty fee which will deter folks

Is Jeryy and Linda the "Village Newcomers?"

Yeah, no interest in them.

Youtubers lol making $$ prob getting their bond paid off w ad revenues.

Lol they lost my interest with a dorkey pun comment back in 2019-ish... "The wind never blows in T V." Click, next...

Senseless as you now know in attempting to get into a discussion here. Have visited this site for a few years now. Nothing new and same core group of posters and responders.

There are already some lagoons in Florida that use the Crystal Lagoon technology. Called Metro Lagoons. See Who We Are | MetroLagoons There are two from this company near Wesley Chapel (where a Costco is, so someone could go check out the lagoon, do some shopping, and report back to us!)

Metro Lagoons are open to the public but sometimes have "residents only" events for people that bought at the properties. See Epperson | Luxury Resort-Style Living in Wesley Chapel for an example of their communities (these are not retirement communities).

I don't think The Villages one will be a Metro Lagoon but will be using the same underlying technology, the Crystal Lagoon.

Who and what is Jerry and Linda?

Our son lives in Wesley Chappel and near their home is Epperson Pond, it is a man made beach water area. Kayaking, standup paddle boarding, swimming and slide play area for kids, it seems very popular and well run. It is not free to residents but a fee. I think something like this would be very popular in this area. I know my grandkids would love to go when they come to visit!

Trolling lagoon discussion
 

I agree with the poster this persons response was uncalled for, didn't add value to the post. And was downright RUDE.

Perfectly said - Typical rude in most of his posts. Why do people have to insert stupid comments...they are not humerous like they perceive themselves. 🫨

Go back over his past posts and you will see this is his M.O. If you want more information from him you have to ask and you shall receive. I think he is very amusing, probably because he sounds much like my other half.

I too had head that one of those lagoon water park facilities was being built in Sumter County. I believe that I had read a press release type article about it around a year ago? Those facilities are typically built next to power plants as they use the water cooling of the plant to heat the water of the pools. If you find the future power facility south of the turnpike you might have your answer about the where?

In the "southern areas" (St. Catherine, etc) our ponds were way down as they filled the ponds in Newell, etc. this past spring. Then it rained over the summer and they were way up again - higher then I even saw them in my 2.5 years. Now they are way down again as they fill the ponds around Eastport (you can even hear the water rushing through the pipes as you drive over the storm drains). They will be up again soon - no big deal!
