Community Watch is removing gate arms throughout The Villages in anticipation of the arrival of Tropical Storm Eta.
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.
In addition, Entertainment has been canceled tonight and Thursday night at all three town squares.
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.
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.
These actions are based upon the projected storm trajectory and preparations may vary.
