Severe Weather Preparations 
From: districtorg.gov     Aug.-Sept. 2019

Update:   9/3/2019 
​ 

The District thanks you for your continued patience and preparedness as we continue to monitor Hurricane Dorian.  Your safety, the safety of District staff and the safety of District facilities continue to be a top priority.   
District administrative offices will closed at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 3, 2019.  They will re-open for normal business hours on Wednesday, September 4th. 

Based on the latest projections, Recreation Facilities and Executive Golf Courses will begin opening on Thursday, September 5th (date subject to change).  For your health, safety and well-being please DO NOT ENTER any facility until it has been cleared and opened.  We appreciate your patience while we ensure all pool chemicals are at appropriate levels and replace all safety equipment to the proper locations.  

In addition, you will begin to see the following take place over the next several days once it is safe to do so:
  • Wind screens will be replaced on the outdoor court areas. 
  • Outdoor furniture will be replaced outdoors. 
  • Once the potential for strong winds has passed, the gate arms will be replaced.  If you approach a gate in which the gate arm has been removed, please use extreme caution and make sure to stop before proceeding. 
  •  Irrigation will return to normal programming.  
 
As we continue to monitor weather projections, updates will be provided on www.DistrictGov.org.  We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience as it will take several days to restore the recreation facilities for your use and enjoyment. For additional information, please contact the District Customer Service Center at 352-753-4508.
​ 
Update:   9/1/2019 
​ 
The District thanks you for your continued patience and preparedness as we all monitor what is being described as the largest hurricane in modern times.  Your safety, and the safety of District staff, is of paramount importance and, as such, our facilities will remain closed as meteorologists ascertain the trajectory of this Category 5 Hurricane.  Please continue to check www.DistrictGov.org for additional information and updates.
Update:  8/30/2019 ​
​
While emergency management continues to be a function of the county in which you reside, the District works extremely hard in ensuring the safety of District staff, residents of The Villages and District facilities.  In preparation of the potential for severe weather, you may see some of the following preparations occurring throughout the community.

ALL indoor and outdoor Recreation Facilities, including swimming pools, will be closed beginning Saturday, August 31st at 5:00 p.m.  It is currently anticipated that recreation centers & outdoor facilities will remain closed Sunday, September 1st through Tuesday, September 3rd (dates are subject to change).  For your health, safety and well-being please DO NOT ENTER any facility or park vehicles in the parking lots until it has been cleared and opened by The Villages Public Safety Department. 

All Executive Golf Courses will be closed Sunday, September 1st through Friday, September 6th to safely assess all conditions.

Date: 8/29/2019

In addition, the following preparations may be taking place:
  • Certain wind screens will be removed from outdoor court areas. 
  • Outdoor furniture may be secured or placed indoors. 
  • District administrative offices may close. 
  •  If there is a potential for strong winds, gate arms may be removed.  If you approach a gate in which the gate arm has been removed, please use extreme caution and make sure to stop before proceeding. 
  • Irrigation may run along common areas and roadways to lower the water levels in water retention areas.  This is done to ensure adequate capacity of the storm water management system. 
  • Golf courses may close to allow for a reduction in water retention basins to eliminate the potential of flooding. 

We will continue to post updates as we begin some (or all) of the preparations mentioned above.  If it is determined that preparations need to be made for the safety of this community, please underalertlake.com/stand that it may take days to complete these preparations.  Facilities will be re-opened after it has been determined that the area and facilities are safe to do so by The Villages Public Safety Department or other appropriate agency.  We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.  

Please stay tuned to www.DistrictGov.org for additional information and updates. For additional information, please contact the District Customer Service Center at 352-753-4508.
