Not here in the Villages. Either you have potable water and non-potable, irrigation/reclaimed water and two meters or you have one meter and potable water all around.

Per the notice in the post above: "..... It is estimated that to flush all zones, which includes adjusting a total of 3,556 valves

Hydrants would not be fed with reclaimed water. It would most likely be non-potable as it needs less treatment and little to no chlorination.
Which is it, absolutely not or most likely not? Perhaps you should ask the experts which water system feeds the hydrants, it could be either.
