New Pickleball court initiative
Pickleball courts have been delayed due to contractor availability due to Hurricane Milton. The new date for construction is February 2025. The pickleball donations are secure in a separate fund and already allocated to building the courts.
Thank you to all who donated time, money and hard work to meet the goal for the 1st phase of the project. The SVCA signed a contract for the resurfacing. Please watch the Wave and the events calendar for the Grand Opening date!
Now is the time to get all your pickleball friends and family to donate! We still need $7000 for the renovation of the landscaping, benches, and installation of a new pathway.
Visit the link below for more information on how to contribute and learn more about pickleball at the SVCA.

FPL to install underground electrical service
Florida Power and Light (FPL) will be installing underground electrical service to the residences of South Venice in the next 2 years. FPL presented the plan at the April General Meeting and explained the process to everyone who attended.
South Venice was selected for this program based on criteria approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC), prioritizing areas that can most benefit from undergrounding. Selection criteria include: outages during hurricanes, vegetation-related outages and other reliability data.
Over the next year representatives from FPL will be visiting every residence to talk to the owners to plan how the electrical service that is now on the poles will be brought underground to each residence. The cost is free to owners.
To learn more about the program visit the FPL special website.
or
Customer outreach specialists are available and ready to answer all your questions about bringing underground power lines to your neighborhood.
