Terrible communication re water boiling.
Our water was off in North La Belle for a few hours on Sunday PM. I was out of town most of the day on Monday in Ocala at a Dr. appt. Wife ( past cancer patient) who has had chemo found out on Tues morning re boiling water. I do not get news paper, don't listen to Village radio. I am very concerned over the lack of communication. They have no problem checking your meter to make sure they get paid but did not communicate well about this problem. Plan to call and talk with a supervisor today. What about water fountains at post offices and pools? Were they turned off. Wife talked with office they said there were over 500 homes involved. They only do door hangers when there are 50. Huge risk and terrible communication.

Been here seven years and own two houses. Never needed to sign up. So, if you don't "sign up" you're unknowingly exposed to unsafe drinking water and water dept has no responsibility to make sure you are informed!

I also don't know why you will not take advantage of the notification system that the District has in place. IMHO it sounds like you would rather complain than protect your wife and yourself. In less time than posting twice here you could have signed up and it cost nothing. |

I totally agree that you needed to be informed, just like you should know if a hurricane is coming or we are having a flu outbreak, or there have been a rash of home break-ins in your neighborhood. Paying attention to the news via free local sources helps with that. As does this website and others. And you can sign up for phone, text, or email notifications for all of the emergency events that might happen.

Couldn’t miss them. |

I have to agree with signing up. I knew about the water problem and I am several thousand miles away at the moment.

In my opinion, the communications were very effective and quick!

I agree with everything each of you all have said. Now I have a question. I'm a seasonal resident who takes the paper and listens to the radio when I'm in TV, and I didn't know you can "sign up" for advisory messages like this. Can you tell me if you "sign up" on a web site (if so what web site), or do I need to do in person (and if so to whom)? I think that makes great sense to do so.
