Eight years after a little-known Gainesville ordinance established a “fire protection fee,” a senior community in South Hall is finally getting charged for it. And the residents are none too happy about the $93 monthly fee. In a letter dated March 13, which was shared with The Times, the city’s water resources department informed the Villas at Friendship Corners in Buford that they had not been charged the fee since the ordinance took effect in January of 2010.
