That may not be sufficient. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection Regulations require that,

"Reclaimed water hose bibs to be located in locked compartments and clearly labeled as being of non-potable quality with language written in English and Spanish. The security devices must in place at all times when the hose bib is not in use." In addition, Florida statutes have a specific sign, including a picture that must be used on the hose bib.

In the Villages, the builder never installs a hose bib on an irrigation system.
