No one uses their turn signals or reads prior posts and MANY are worried about some palm fronds.

In every life some rain must fall. THE CUP is more than half full I say.

Just passed there, still smells. Winds have shifted.

I was kidding about TV working fast, not bashing them. I do read prior posts and I'm pretty sure if that dump was in your neck of the woods you'd be concerned about a few palm fronds too.

The current score from the health department is 64 - out of 100. And a letter grade of U. I counted 15 violations. 4 were intermediate, and 3 high priority.

You might want to have an ER physician accompany you next time you go.

China Gourmet....Lake Deaton Plaza.....is where we frequent.....we have never eaten at the Colony resturant...but that is good to know to never go to Colony for Chinese.

Good decision. Current score is 91. Or “A”

While we are speaking about bad odors does anyone know where the burning is going on of the tree debris that are being collected from The Villages?

When we were looking at houses our rep steered us away from the area. That was our second house in 2012. So glad he did

This has come up before. It is not rotting vegetation. It is construction debris in a dump. It's why one of the golf courses off Morse south of 466A has no homes built along it--there is a construction trash dump on the other side. Do a search on here, and you will find threads and posts. Drywall, for one, smells like rotting garbage as it disintegrates. There have been times when you could smell it from Colony all the way down to Pine Ridge.

It's not a "get over it" issue. And it's not fertilizer, milorganite, or anything being put on the golf courses... nothing has been put on the golf courses since Irma, and the smell is pretty bad right now.

It smells like sewer gas.

I think those affected should figure out who owns the property; and
ask them what they're planning to do about the smell.
I assume the smell is worse because of refuse caused by Irma.

Perhaps one of these has moved to TV. Police seek 'mad pooper' woman jogger who's defecating shamelessly on people's front lawns | Fox News

Landfill supposedly for construction debri. So does an employee climb up on top of every dump truck to inspect or follow each truck and inspect the drop? Does Lake County inspect the site daily?
Recently a super market in TV had to throw away all the food due to power loss.. I hv no idea where it went and not saying it went here...

Still a debris dump. Construction waste when it gets extremely wet and smell. Think about the amount of rain we had That would cause more issues than normal.

That was our major concern when looking at houses in that general area and are Real estate people both outside and inside TV suggested looking at a house elsewhere.
