Do you even have one .......

is NOT interconnected into your irrigation system......

.......therefore.........
............... WOULD it be safe to surmise you do NOT have one SOUTH of CR466.
The irrigation water is a totally separate from your drinking water, South of CR 466.
.( note: this would ONLY apply to homes IN The Villages)

IMHO there would be no need to have THAT type of backflow preventer.

You do have a backflow preventer that is screwed onto your
hose-bib in ALL locations....... but............
this does not have anything to do with the irrigation system.
