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.

the Right to Clean Water initiative

The Right to Clean Water initiative is collecting signatures again for a Petition to amend the State of Florida constitution to appear on the 2026 November general election.  The SVCA is a Petition drop off location.

Why does Florida need a Right to Clean and Healthy Waters?

There are at least a dozen reasons why our system of laws has failed. Listen also to the experienced, insightful Voices of Florida, united in the position that what we've been doing isn't working. Florida needs this constitutional amendment. It has become clear that the current system of water protection is inadequate. The state executive branch is not enforcing clean water legislation according to environmental laws, legislative intent and constitutional policy.  The constitutional amendment will empower Floridians to better hold their government accountable when it comes to Florida waters.

You can print out your petition here, and then drop it off at the SVCA office.

Find out more and read the text of the amendment by visiting the Right to Clean Water website.
