Water
The association names Citrus County Utilities as the water provider. For a specific address, call the county at (352) 527-7650 to confirm that service is active or available at the street, and what a new connection costs for a vacant lot.
Some properties also have a well for irrigation. The deed restrictions require irrigation well tanks and water softener tanks to be buried or placed behind the front line of the home and screened from the street, and note that state and local rules govern where a well goes.
Septic
Ask how wastewater is handled at the property you are considering, and get it in writing. For a home with a septic system, we recommend a septic inspection as part of your inspection period and a request for the system's permit and pump-out records. For a vacant lot, ask Citrus County what a new system requires on that lot before you close.
Power and backup power
Duke Energy is the electric provider the association lists. The restrictions require fuel tanks to be buried or placed behind the front line of the home, out of view from the street and neighbors. Generators and air-conditioning units are exempt from that placement rule because they need open air flow. Solar panels need a county permit, with a copy to the association; the association states its committee approval is not required.
Internet
Coverage varies street by street on acre-plus lots. Before you make an offer, enter the exact address on the provider's site, or ask the seller for a recent bill and a speed test. If you work from home, make it a condition you check during the inspection period. The deed restrictions say working remotely for an employer outside Pine Ridge is not restricted.
Trash and roads
Trash pickup is arranged by the owner with one of the private haulers above. Household hazardous waste goes to the Citrus County Central Landfill. The association counts 141 miles of roads in Pine Ridge and has a roads committee that documents how to report potholes.
