Just an update for those interested. I contacted the Villages and they referred me to the local water company. This morning the guy came out and uncovered the gas meter. He found that there were roots growing under the meter from a neighbors oak tree. He cut the roots and told me that in a year or two that would have been a major problem. He took off the water meter and didn't find anything impeding the water flow. He then attached a hose to the meter and turned it on. The water pressure was fine. He then reattached the meter and I checked the pressure in the house. I flushed the toilet and turned on the sink faucet. It was back to normal. Whatever happened worked. I believe when he shot a stream of water into the street it may have dislodged something. So it looks like my problem is resolved and a future problem averted. Kudos to the Villages Customer Service and the Water Co.
