Overall Water Conditions

Post after Post by one concerned "Wellington" resident appears...

This situation is
NOT EXCLUSIVE to that area....every BODY OF WATER, is affected through out the Village.

Why the delay in receiving the daily alotment

S O L ; Save our Lagoon

We are now isolated from the UCO Lakes and we need to send a SAVE OUR LAGOON signal to all.

Our water level is so low that even the Wellington Lagoons do not communicate anymore with one another.

In the name of the species that are still living in our Lagoon and before they boil and die under the hot Florida sun, somebody got to do something.

There 's Trouble in Paradise and maybe we should call in the Florida Wildlife Federation or the Audubon Society, but before we do that can someone explain why in the name of God we have used only 27,000 gallons of recycled water since last Friday 03/06.
If you are as depressed as I am about lour Lakes, take a peek at our neighbour development, Cypress Lakes and see how in the same environment one can preserve its beauty and the other can destroy it.
Is it Management??? Andre

WATER BY THE NUMBERS

Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink. *

It may be seen in the archives of this BLOG that the Reclaimed water faucet was activated on Feb. 7, 2008. Since then, approximately 396 days have elapsed. Computing at the contract rate of 750,000 gallons per day, we arrive at a volume of 297,000,000 gallons that we were permitted by contract.

-

What have we taken to date?

-

Your newly elected VP went on a field trip to the Reclaimed water facility this morning and have taken a reading:

-

168,230,310 Gallons.

-

Thus we have left 128,769,690 gallons unexploited, while dutifully paying over $3,200.00 per month, of Unit Owner money, for the privilege of having this infrastructure on our Campus.

-

Based on a surface area of 64 Acres of waterways in CV one may readily compute that 1 inch of depth equates to 1,737,874 gallons.

Thus we have lost some 74 inches of depth, just a bit over 6 feet.

-

Now, take a walk to any point on our Shoreline and view the devastation wreaked by yet another example of UCO poor judgment.

-

We should immediately open the valve and take every gallon that is still owed to us, and continue taking our contractual limit until our Lakes and canals are restored to their maximum beauty.

Where is the Water?

I just read Andre's blog re water coming in. As you can see It is still pretty dry where the water comes in. I took these photos Friday afternoon. the second photo is from behind the Dorchester pool. The water was bubbling but are there pipes to bring in water there? I don't know. The dead grass you see in the top of the photo is the Bahama grass that was put down about a week ago over plastic. When it rains it will be green, hopefully. The third photo was taken from the footbridge on the north end of the village going to the Hastings gym and pool and looking east. The last picture is also taken from the footbridge looking west. I'm glad we got all that water. I can't find it.
