Tennessee, NY, and MD may have been built to different code, the water may be less corrosive, or they may not have the same amount of pipe in the ground waiting to fail. It also could be that the code in FL was lacking at the time and has been changed since. It is also possible that the Developer used pipe that was not up to code but with so many miles of pipe to fail and such a focus on Florida's Friendliest Home Town, that would seem to be a risk to the reputation of the Villages that he would be unlikely to take.

I did not attend that meeting. I was just on my mind after the news piece on the $500K plus that must be paid (not by the developer) to repair pipes at a pond to prevent damage to the nearby homes.
