I have verified that the hose bibbs water supply is pond water.

I have not seen that in The Villages. But, it would probably be a violation of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection regulations. They require that any hose bibb that is connected to a non-potable water source must be locked and clearly labeled as non-potable water.
Also, the International Plumbing Code requires the following:
Nonpotable water outlets such as hose connections, open ended pipes and faucets shall be identified at the point of use for each outlet with signage that reads as follows: "Nonpotable water is utilized for [application name]. CAUTION: NONPOTABLE WATER — DO NOT DRINK."
