According to this posted on the District Gov Website Residential Customers in The Villages DO NOT receive reclaimed water.

Here are the rules for the water restrictions

Water restriction rules seem not to apply to water bottling companies. Nor does it curtail the continual expansion of this development. Nor will this utility company reimburse you when your lawn dies because you followed their rules and let it die of dehydration.

What they will do is send you a seemingly nice notice that you are using too much water. However the notice is really a clever way of the utility saying "we told you so" and now we have to raise the rates again...when in actuality their Board decided that ages ago

Residents pay as much for water as they do other utilities and this is the first place I have ever lived where that was the case. ( I wonder if bottling companies are subjected to a three tier rating system plus base fees?) Hmmm

By the way one of their employees told me long ago that there is more water under the ground here than in the Great Lakes..it is the employee said "all politics"

Now I anticipate some residents will mock me but it doesn't make what I have said any less factual.

You may also have noticed the narrative in The Villages is closely controlled. Its their story, their truth and so it has to be yours and hence mine is wrong

Heheh. Not mocking at all, rubicon. But I will admit I got a kick out of this.

The homes NORTH of 466 do not use reclaimed water for irrigation of yards.

The homes SOUTH of 466 DO use waters from the ponds in the area for irrigation.

The developers kept getting wiser as they went along.

Just to clarify.

Not to challenge.

I have asked them what snowbirds are supposed to do if they left the sprinklers set for twice a week watering, but have yet to receive a reply.

I am assuming they will volunteer to pay for the return trip to make the required adjustment.

South of 466 homes use water from retention ponds but not exclusively. From Village Community Development Districts

South of CR 466, homes are irrigated with non-potable water which is comprised of storm water runoff that is collected in water retention areas and groundwater from the lower Floridan aquifer when storm water supplies are not available.

And let me guess....on page 2, water bottling companies are not addressed.....

Oh, we can take a shower once a week, only if needed......

The drought has not been this extreme in the ten years we have known and loved The Villages. Nature will recover.

Can we wash our hair at the same time? Actually I think hair washing is only allowed now once a month.

So, if my watering day is Monday, does that mean that I can water from midnight on Sunday until 8 AM Monday, and then again from 6 PM Monday until midnight on Monday?

I believe that's true. Your day would be Monday. They just don't want you watering during the day.

No wonder we have a water shortage. People are showering every week?
