There is water treatment (expensive) and water filtration (inexpensive).

The only problem with the water here is some of us (me) find the taste not to our liking. Putting a treatment system in is overkill. I simply bought two in-line cartridge filters at Home Depot, or maybe Lowes, (it was nearly 8 years ago). Installed one on the refrigerator water line and one under the kitchen sink on a dedicated drinking water line. The original cartridges have been replaced.

Our previous home in North Florida had hard water and I installed a treatment system (Home Depot) there for less than $600.00. We do not feel the water here is hard enough to warrant that.

The local water supplier for The Villages sends each homeowner a full report each year to certify the water is fit for human consumption.
