Wellen Park, FL – April 30, 2025 — A long-running dispute over irrigation water use in the Gran Paradiso neighborhood of Wellen Park has reached a new chapter, following years of legal and administrative efforts to resolve the matter.
At the center of the issue is the documented overuse of irrigation water by the Gran Paradiso Homeowners Association (HOA), a concern acknowledged by the HOA in official records. The Wellen Park Village Improvement District (WVID), which oversees infrastructure and services across the master-planned community, has been engaged in efforts for years to address the problem in coordination with the HOA.
After multiple lawsuits initiated by the HOA, courts have affirmed WVID’s right to terminate irrigation water access — a decision WVID asserts was taken only after all other resolution efforts were exhausted. The termination of access follows legal proceedings that confirmed the step was within WVID’s lawful authority.
Despite the legal rulings and public documentation, some residents continue to express confusion or concern about the outcome. In response, Wellen Park officials have released a resource site — wpfactstoknow.com — containing original documents, timelines, and supporting materials to provide residents with greater clarity on the situation.
“This isn’t the kind of topic we usually address publicly, but it’s important that residents have access to all the facts,” a Wellen Park spokesperson said. “We remain committed to transparency and the long-term health and sustainability of our community.”
The site encourages residents to review the history of the dispute, the actions taken by both parties, and the final legal outcomes to gain a full understanding of the developments.
Wellen Park officials reaffirmed their dedication to working collaboratively with all neighborhoods while continuing their mission to enhance the quality of life across the community.
