dhwein, You may also want to take into consideration that your sewer charge is based on your potable water use. Meaning the more potable water use, the higher your sewer charge.
In my previous home in Wesley Chapel, FL, an hour south of The Villages, we paid a flat fee of $7.00 per month for irrigation water. I lived in a very nice CDD master planned neighborhood, not out in the sticks. We also had St. Augustine grass. We couldn't wait to get rid of it with such issues as chinch bugs, etc. Hubby was happy to have zoysia grass. Now that we have zoysia, we would go back to St. Augustine any day. Zoysia seems to need a lot of water to be green.
To make everyone feel a little better about that $7.00 per month ... our electricity cost is half of what we used to pay and our car insurance is 60% less than what we used to pay as well. All in all, I'll pay for the water and not complain.
