The water in The Villages is hard water - has lots of minerals in it - but it is not harmful.
One of my friends had a water purifier company do a "free test" on the water in his new house. The company salesman took a test tube of the faucet water, added some brown dye to it, and said it was unfit to drink. My friend showed him the door.
Lots of residents do go to Home Depot or Lowe's to buy a water softner. Lowe's gives a 10% discount to any veteran with proof of being a veteran.
I was just in rural NE Iowa last week and their faucet water is so bad it actually has some sort of particulate floating in it. We bought bottled water while there. I was VERY happy to return to The Villages. That was a LONG 3 days in Iowa.
