You ask the same question many of us have asked since moving here. By the way I do not believe every county in Florida has a three tier pricing system but this development has a lot of pull with our water district. In fact an ex-president of the VHA is/ or was on the board and of course there is Sumter One under the developers tutelage

Water is so much cheaper than where we came from. I think it wise to have two kinds of water: one for drinking and one for watering the lawn.
