Helpful Tips

Sewer systems are susceptible to deterioration, blockage, and collapse as they age. Throughout the year, The Villages’ utilities operations and maintenance contractor, Jacobs, conducts sewer cleaning, closed-circuit camera (CCTV) inspections, and preventative maintenance. Routine inspections like this minimize the risk of sewer backups and overflows and ensure optimal sewer system operation.

Fats, oil, and grease (FOG) is a major concern for wastewater collection systems. When not disposed of properly, FOG forms thick layers inside sewers constricting flow, similar to the way cholesterol affects blood flow in our arteries. Clogged sewers require additional maintenance and cleaning and can result in sewage spills and overflows.

FOG also places additional loadings on wastewater treatment plants, which can result in process operational difficulties, added treatment costs, and possible plant upsets. By doing your part, you can contribute to a cleaner and healthier utility system!

Lead & Copper Notice

In November of 2023, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced the proposed Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), a series of nationwide initiatives to help reduce exposure to lead in drinking water.

The LCRI proposes replacing 100% of lead water service lines within the next ten years, and the rule generally requires utilities to investigate water service line materials and make the necessary upgrades if lead pipes are found.

Automated Meter Reading (AMR)

The Villages Community Development Districts Utilities Department has contracted with National Metering Services, Inc. (NMS) to remove and replace the current water meters in your community.

This change is necessary to implement Automated Meter Reading (AMR) in the utility systems. The new meters allow the transmission of meter reads for billing without physically accessing the meter.
