Community Watch is pulling staffers from gates in The Villages as of 6 p.m. Wednesday due to Tropical Storm Eta.
Gate arms came down earlier in the day.
If you approach a gate in which the gate arm has been removed, use caution and stop before proceeding. The process of reinstalling the gate arms will begin once the potential for sustained winds has subsided.Â
The District is proactively reviewing storm water basin levels and planning necessary water transfers as needed to accommodate the projected rainfall from the storm to alleviate the risk of flooding.Â
While some of the pool deck furniture is currently stacked due to social distancing, the furniture may be secured, if necessary. Flags may also be lowered.Â
These actions are based upon the projected storm trajectory and preparations may vary.
