This effort should involve Home Warranty and the builder of the home. The water company is going to do what it needs to do. That said, the OP should expect a satisfactory resolution to this.

Pavers over the concrete will make it all look the same.

This is what confuses me about the OP's claim. OP says The Villages wants to dig up their driveway to install a shut off valve for the neighborhood. That goes against logic and also goes against what the above poster says.

Very true! But, pray tell who will pay for the pavers?

The homeowner, who else?

Our concrete for our driveway and walkway to the front door was subjected to rain before it was cured (probably the day it was poured). We have been told that rain is what caused the terrible uneven color in the concrete.

We purchased the home from the original homeowners with the concrete in this condition. We knew the concrete was going to need a re-surfacing job of some sort. Can't wait to cover up that unsightly concrete.
