Pex or CPVC in the new builds in the Villages
Is the Villages using Pex or CPVC for the pottable water plumbing in the new builds in the Villages? I hear CPVC gets brittle over time but I haven't heard of any stories of problems in the thousands of homes built with it here in the Villages.

I am not a plomero and have little plumbing experience, but when I re-piped my house in pex back in 2009, the plumber shared that no one used CPVC for the reasons you described and that pex was becoming more and more commonly accepted and used by the day. I'd be surprised if by now it isn't all pex. Hope this helps a bit.

If you can see any of the piping, PEX is typically RED or BLUE, CPVC is usually a CREAM COLOR.
