Cities throughout Florida have always placed restrictions on watering during times of little rain or drought. After a rainy season, the restrictions get lifted. It has been this way for decades.
The Villages population is small compared to cities like Miami and Jacksonville. Restrictions are tougher in these larger cities when a drought persists.

There are plants that need no regular fertilizing. There are a lot of Florida-friendly TOUGH plants that need ZERO attention. It is just a choice that is made to look pretty back in the day when it was felt that "PRETTY" increased home sales. Also, early on in Village History, the population density was too low to affect the water table.
