Where in The Villages do you live (just the name of the village), and how have you verified this?

We are in Pine Hills......also the ear of Moyer Loop is Lake County.

Just about everyone in our neighborhood has told us, along with Landscape company.

Going to know soon, I will find out.

It’d totally surprise me if the rumors you heard are true, but one sure fire way to know: Go to your water meter in your front yard. Turn the valve off. Then turn on one of your hose bibs. Give it 10-15 seconds or so, and see if the water stops flowing. Easy way to check.

The houses in the Village of Pine Hills definitely do not have pond water or any non-potable water coming out of the hose bibbs attached to the houses. It is potable water from the same piping source as all of the plumbing fixtures inside of your house.

Close the plastic valve in the back wall of your garage, and you will get no water coming out of the exterior hose bibbs.

Thx to all that replied....will try testing by turning off the valve. It never made sense to me to have irrigation water coming from the hose bibbs.

Retired guy is correct. Water coming from the hose bibs is potable water.

Same problem but when I detached the hose and then turn on the water and then off I have no backflow spray.

I thought when the water spays out when turning off water the backflow preventer working release pressure in hose? I don’t replace mine till the water sprays out the reliefs holes when turn water turned on. When I have Spray nozzle on water hose and spray and release sometimes the backflow with squirt water. IMO this normal.
