Is everybody who wants the towers replaced prepared to pay an additional amount added to their amenity fees?

People have posted pictures of two old ladies in a golf cart but no idea if it is really them

The money doesn't come out of the amenity fee.

This time it's the towers but next time it's a sinkhole closing a golf course or the sign into your neighborhood. When it is an item that is important to you will you be willing to conduct a pole on ToTV to determine whether money should be spent to repair it?

Two old ladies?

In a golf cart?

In The Villages?

You don't say.

It's in storage waiting for the pricey Corten steel base/tower to arrive.

Who is paying for the replacement water tower. I thought I read some where the residents will pay for either thru taxes or amenity. If true its BS since "The Villages " own the commercial property they should be paying for it.

Before throwing naughty words out................you might want to read and educate yourself on who built, owns and is responsible for it and maint of it.

My uncle had 2 windmills on his farm but we had to take one down...........There wasn't ever enough wind to run them both.

There already was a vote. Your PWAC representative voted to add the BCDD to the project wide agreement and add the windmill and water tower to the list of things the PWAC maintains. Voted on, agreement signed, here we are.

Still do not understand why they did not use pressure treated lumber to build it in the first place.
