You are confusing two different processes. Storm drainage is the water from rainfall that runs into the streets, into underground pipes, and generally end up in the ponds on the golf courses. This is the irrigation water that you pay for. Has nothing to do with the water you use in your home. The home-use water (called potable water); showers, toilet flushes, etc., also goes into separate underground pipes. These pipes are called sewers, the stuff in the pipes is called sewerage, and it all goes to water treatment facilities located throughout the Villages. You pay a base price for this water, and then another price based on the amount of water that you use. You also pay a base price for sewerage, plus a price based on the amount of water that you use. My house has separate meters for irrigation and potable water. Hope this helps someone.
