Dump smell
I imagine this has come up on here before but I did a search and couldn't find any posts. Is the horrendous stench from the dump over by Colony going to ever be addressed by TV? Is there even anything that can be done? I would be furious if I bought over in Pine Ridge during a non-stink season and then had to endure that odor now. I'm sure the folks over in Sanibel smell it as well not to mention the poor folks that bought all those villas over by Walmart. I pass by there everyday and it's been particularly putrid over the past couple of months.

It's construction debris and yes it's on villages property, there are actually several threads about it.

There is no dump per se...it is rotting vegetation. All around Florida where trees/bushes/shrubs were torn from the ground have the same smell...get over it....

It does have a rather bad odor...what ever or who ever own's it.
when you travel from hillsboro in the golf cart, to lake deaton plaza, (China Gourmet....general tso's shrimp, the best ever...... the bad smell is very strong......but last only a mile or so, then it dissappears and reappears on the way home. We don't notice it sitting out on the deck in barrineau. Must be the wind direction....but it is definitely noticeable around 6 when I make a supper run. |

It's a landfill. If you google TV you will see it off Moyer. Heat and excess moisture is causing the smell. Complaints last summer resulted in a decrease in the smell (perhaps more land was dug up and over the piles of decay).

If you like the smell now, wait until the cool foggy November, February and March mornings after we've had several days of rainy weather. All that rotting "vegetation", those sulfides in the dumped drywall and construction debris, and the little bit of garbage that gets thrown into the construction dumpsters; sometimes they can't cover it over with dirt fast enough. Rumor has it that Mt. Morse will be the base of operations for The Villages Astronomy Club when it is eventually capped over. Hopefully the base ground layer was well constructed of clay and an adequate drainage system built so that the dump doesn't become a future polluter of our well water and that they are building a gas collector system to capture all the methane and other gasses created by the decomposing mound of debris. . So all in all, yes, we have a dump in the middle of The Villages.

Thanks Kazmi. Watching all those dump trucks heading in there I had envisioned something like this up there. I guess they have to put it somewhere but I'm pretty sure TV aren't selling any homes around there right now and I sure hope they mentioned it to all the people who have already bought their homes.
