In addition to CFrance's suggestions, a review of a google earth map or a call to VCDD or the Bonifay Restaurant or Pro Shop or an up close and personal detour stop by the facility would confirm that. The majority of the other posters were just having some harmless fun, passing time on rainy afternoons. They didn't deserve a scolding. Consequently, I am sooo glad that I didn't submit my original guess: a large-scale hot tub with a retractable dome for nighttime star gazing, and, perhaps, catered bar service. |

I enjoyed the humorous replies...but, did want to clear up some of the misconceptions.
I took the Resident Academy class back in Aug 2011. It covers all the aspects of local CDD government and had a segment on the utilities that service us. Some of the maps/charts provided at that time did not extend below 466A, but, can be extrapolated. First off, all the wastewater treatment (aka sewage) for S of 466A will be done at the plant off of Buena Vista near the Bacall golf course/Liberty Park area. They had a major expansion of that plant in the past few years to handle the new areas. So, the OP's picture is not sewage/wastewater. What I believe it is, is a water holding tank. Our potable water comes from the Upper Floridian aquifer. There were 19 wells N of 466a on the map I have..no doubt more S of 466a. Water is pumped out of the aquifer then goes to a water treatment plant (like the facility that looks like a giant still at Turtle Mound golf course), then to a holding tank (as the OP described) or one of the tall Water towers then distributed to homes on demand. There is a whole separate system for irrigation water that involves the lower aquifer, using treated wastewater, storage/retention ponds, pump stations, and distribution. For example, the yellow building on Bailey Trail beyond the gate and before Allamanda golf course is a Pump Station. Then again, maybe the building is our hurricane/tornado evacuation shelter??? ![]()

![]() That people ask questions here hoping for a valid answer, not a bunch of snide remarks. This person got some answers and some nonsense answers. So they asked the question again and asked people to only reply if they had valid information. But all they got was more nonsenses. That's OK for a bit, but to continue it for over 30 posts when asked not to, is not fair to the OP who asked the question. So that was my point!!
