My understanding of what was explained is that the stormwater pipes installed at the time met the applicable code. Since then, perhaps due to failures, the code has been changed. I have no idea if this is true but that is what I believe I heard.

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.
yea the water isn't too far away from you, beside and under
