In Sumter County it mostly follows an existing Duke Energy power-line corridor, crossing I-75, State Road 44 and the Florida Turnpike on its way toward Lake County southeast of Center Hill. A 2017 report put The Villages about six miles northeast of where the pipeline crosses I-75, just north of SR 44 near Wildwood. So it passes to the southwest of The Villages, not through it.

I found a map, which I’ll need to find again, that showed a major gas line following the Turnpike through the Villages. Perhaps that is not Sabal but another gas line.
Here is the map. In 2017 that path may have been about six miles southwest of the Villages. The Villages has grown a bit since then.
