Now, can you imagine 100,000+ homes doing that & how much water is wasted. I personally think the homes here weren't very well thought out. Where I lived in Ohio, my monthly water bill in the house I lived in for 11 yrs. before moving here, the highest bill I ever got was $18. & that's when I turned my irrigation system on 3 times in one week. Other than that I never ever ran over $12. a MONTH. In The Villages defense fresh water here in Florida is hard to come by probably because the soil is so sandy & they can't get to the fresh water or it dries up so quickly. I only pay as an average $80. a month for water, that's pretty good compared to what I've been reading here.

Regarding the hot water heater distance, it depends on the model of your house. Our MB is extremely close to our hot water heater. The kitchen sink, well, thats another story
