Just wondering......what are the regular landscape crews doing while FEMA is doing the clean up of The Villages? I haven't seen any of the regular crews at all. I'm referring to the people who do the planting, cutting the lawns and blowing debris, putting down the pine straw, etc....... just the regular maintenance to keep our community looking so beautiful. Are these people out of work right now while FEMA is doing the clean up?

It looks like many of the regular crews are working the usual planting, etc. along some of the ways (El Camino for one). The hurricane debris is still along El Camino. I didn't ask who was who, so I could be wrong about who is doing what looked like the regular stuff.

We have had our hurricane debris out since we were first told to have it there; what, a week ago? They were here this morning. Even if we had to wait another week or whatever, at least we didn't have to figure out a way to haul it off ourselves! Thanks guys! I think less complaining and more patience just might go a long way. Maybe this is a wakeup call about 'instant gratification'. I don't think anyone's debris is more important for cleanup than another's. Good post, btw, CWGUY.

Ive seen the landscaping crews (Brightview) out cleaning many areas including the debris from tunnels and the MMPs. They are the workers putting the debris in piles for easier removal by the crews working from north to south.

Good to know our regular crews are working to make pick up easier for the FEMA crews. Someone up thread said they saw crews planting. Again.....that sort of surprises me when there is so much more clean up that needs to be done.

e-Notification Subject: Administrative Message - Special Notification to All Newsletter Subscribers Date: 9/22/2017 Debris Collection Update 9/22/17 3:45 p.m. As units of local government, the Village Community Development Districts are eligible for reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for storm debris collection resulting from Hurricane Irma. Each of the Districts located in The Villages have a contract in place with a FEMA approved debris hauler, Crowder Gulf, Inc. Residents were advised that debris collection would begin on September 15, 2017 and that all storm related debris should be placed curbside on residential property, but not in roadways, and to not place debris in plastic bags. Please also refrain from placing debris on your driveway or in front of storm drain inlets or electrical boxes. Crowder Gulf, Inc. is collecting debris 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. until approximately 7:30 p.m. The contractor will complete one collection throughout The Villages community which is anticipated to take three more weeks for a community that is 44 square miles. The initial collection began in Village Community Development Districts (VCDD) No. 3 and 4 with concentration on residential streets. • The collection in VCDD No. 3 is 95 % complete. • The collection in VCDD No. 4 began on the east side of Buena Vista which is scheduled to be completed September 22nd. The portion of VCDD No. 4 on the west side of Buena Vista will begin on September 23rd until completed. • The collection for VCDD No. 2 will be conducted west to east following the completion of collection in VCDD No. 4. • The collection in the Lady Lake/Lake County portion of The Villages began September 22nd. Once that area is complete, the contractor will begin work in VCDD No. 1. Due to severity of storm related damage throughout the State of Florida, Crowder Gulf, Inc. is working with the resources that they currently have available. The District government is working with the contractor to obtain additional local resources to expedite debris collection. The District government has stopped regular yard waste collection until storm related debris has been collected from your residential areas. Any residual debris left following pick-up by Crowder Gulf, Inc. should be included in your regular yard waste collection. Please stay tuned to Village Community Development Districts as the collection process progresses in the community and additional updates are available. Please contact District Customer Service at 352-753-4508 if you have any additional questions. |

I called the Villages Waste Management for a large pickup of a grill and while I was on the phone she said the Villages regular crew won't be doing the normal (for us Wednesday) debris pickup that the Villages hired a private contractor to do it. It is a huge job. I've also noticed they are not doing mowing in certain areas where there are large piles of debris.
