I don't know about all of the Villages (since it's 70 square miles large) but up in the Historic section, our water is somewhat "hard." You can get around that with small cartridge filters under the sink, and soaking your shower head in vinegar and water solution every couple of months, and descaling your coffeemaker every few months.
Or, you could buy a whole house filter. But they're expensive, take up space that might be needed for something else, are unsightly since they don't fit behind a cabinet door, and expensive to maintain.
An under-sink Filtrete system is around $60 for the initial filter and connection stuff (per sink), and replacement cartridges run around $30 that you switch out every 5-6 months. You can install it yourself.
