OP, I agree with above, you need to look for leaks. If your irrigation is included in the water bill, turn your irrigation on one zone at a time and look for broken sprinkler head(s), just had one myself, but a neighbor noticed it right away. You can put some food coloring in the toilet tank, and see if the water in the bowl turns that color, if it does you have a leak. The ACE hardware off 466 near Publix seems to have a lot of the Villages specific items, if you decide to repair the toilet yourself.
Hope this helps.
One other item, you can make sure all your faucets, etc are off, and look at the water meter, if the needle is moving, you have a leak, look around the lawn for a wet spot, then call plumber or irrigation as appropriate.
