The builder told us that the water is treated with chlorine, as is required by law in the state for runs of the kind of distances involved in The Villages. Some people notice the taste of chlorine and some don't. Simple water filter systems seem to make it fine for most folks who do taste it. Complex and expensive whole-home filter systems do the job as well, but many people on this forum seem the feel that the main beneficiaries of those systems are the people who sell them, not the people that use them. As far for bathing and washing, some people have complained that clothes washers and dishwashers don't work as well, but on closer examination, it's often that they are using new appliances that are required to use as little water as possible. It's like low-flush toilets vs. the old ones. They may not work as well but you can't really blame the water quality for that.
