Should notify utility and sewer charge should be adjusted as the water did not go thru sewer lines similar if an underground leak had occurred.

If you call the villages utilities prior to filling your pool they don't charge the sanitation fee.
At least they didn't in 2017.

From districtgov.org -> Departments -> Utilities -> Department FAQ

If I have a pool or hot tub is there a re-filling discount on my water and sewer charges?
Each homeowner is responsible for paying for all water consumption that passes through the meter. Discounts are not offered on filling or refilling pools/hot tubs.
