Still think this depends on what Village you are in as far as potable water from the hose is concerned. I am fairly certain that the hose water in Lynnhaven is not safe to drink without boiling. This Villages Daily Sun article backs that up-- http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/a...villages01.txt

"That’s because homes constructed south of County Road 466 come with two incoming water lines. One that supplies the tap water for inside, and another that carries stormwater and the less potable Lower Floridan aquifer water. At 12,000 homes and growing, numerous Villages residents are watering their lawns without stressing Florida’s underground water supply.

The Villages’ current water use permit granted by the Governing Board of the Southwest Florida Water Management District demands that only 31 percent come from the Upper Floridan aquifer, which is used for household consumption. The other 69 percent comes from the three alternative sources, which thrilled some members of the SWFWMD board when they discussed The Villages earlier in 2007."
