Unknown said...: Sorry, I don't know any more about this plant than what is shown on the sign. I suggest you contact Pasco County Commissioner, Pat Mulieri.; 12:35 PM

I expect that there will be a chorus of medical claims, and the like, so thank you Pasco County for the potential retirement bucks. I am sure they will slip up somehow and put all the Pasco taxpayers in jeopardy; 7:26 PM

There will be and Potable Water treatment plant and a reservoir on the NE corner of Boyette and Overpass Rd utilizing 142 acres of county property. The first phase is developing the west end of the property with an Admin building and tank system which chemically treats (chlorinates) water from the Tampa Bay water system. They described the system as self contained and will not produce odors into the air or a hazard to the community. The East end of the property will be a reservoir but that will be sometime in the near future. They said people can go to the County's website www.pascocountyfl.net or call the Commissioners office (352)521-4111 Dade City, or Pasco County Utilities office (352)521-4285 Dade City, for more information. I feel better that it isn't anything that will devalue or ruin our neighborhood but please contact them if you have any questions or concerns of your own and please post here so we can all be in the loop.; 11:09 AM

Every time I drive by it I get a sick feeling in my stomach. They really should not have put this across the street from a neighborhood. What the hell where they thinking?; 10:34 PM

As someone else mentioned, why the heck did they cut down all of the trees? Who wants to look at an ugly water treatment plant? Not me! I don't think this is utilizing this parcel of land at its highest and best use. Whoever approved this land as anything other than residential made a great mistake and should be ashamed of themselves! At the very least, thick evergreen trees should be planted to border the entire facility in order to minimize the eyesore to nearby residents. This would help us maintain the value of our properties (we don't need anything else lowering the value of our homes - we took a big enough hit from the economy alone!).; 9:41 PM

Please contact: Commissioner Pat Mulieri at 813-996-6783; 7:18 PM

I agree that they need to do something and put the trees back so that it cannot be seen from the road. They have the plant behind the park and that is off the main road and makes a heck of a lot more sense!! Ugh! I will definitely be contacting the Commissioner.; 9:33 AM
Unknown said...: Sorry folks, but it appears that Palm Cove is located in District I and not District II. This means that your county commissioner is Ted Schrader (352) 521-4111, e-mail: tSchrader@pascocountyfl.net; 10:23 AM
