You can use a hose from your spigot to water your plants, trees, or yard anytime you want. The only one that is monitored is your irrigation system - and if you live South of 466 - that is not drinking water but "reclaimed" water. North of 466 - all the water both inside and irrigation system is drinking water. We get one bill with no separation between the two - and it is less expensive, too, than South of 466.

Sorry, don't know. We've been living in a condo for 18 years. All this stuff is built into the common association charges.

Woah!! Let me get this straight. Are you are saying that, in all areas of The Villages, only the water used by the irrigation system is metered??

So this might mean that if you built a swimming pool there would be no cost for filling it.

Please tell me where you got this information. Thanks.

Monitored from a usage standpoint. High usage will trigger a form letter about higher than normal usage.
I built a pool in March, paid for the water to fill it and the sewer too.

No, that is not what I meant. Sorry if I was unclear.

North of 466, the water we use to irrigate the lawn is potable water just like what we drink in the house. There is not a separate breakdown on the monthly water bill for irrigation water. I have been told the bills North of 466 are less than the bills for water South of 466. All the water is metered.

You can use your hose anytime to water your plants or lawn. This water is potable water no matter where you live in The Villages.

The water for lawn irrigation South of 466 is reclaimed water and is not potable. I believe there is a separate breakdown on the water bill and it is more expensive than the potable water.

FYI:
My July Water bill charges are $1.68 /K for potable water and $1.82 for Irrigation water. My home is in Hemingway south of 466.
