Plumbing in The Villages

The Villages' five utility areas print five different hardness figures in their 2025 consumer confidence reports. The Village Center Service Area shows 165 mg/L, Little Sumter 176, North Sumter 187, Central Sumter 172 and South Sumter 166. USGS calls anything above 180 very hard. All five draw Floridan Aquifer groundwater, chlorinated for disinfection. Village Center's inventory shows no lead. It lists Galvanized Requiring Replacement 0, Non-Lead 6,681 and Unknown 2,890.

The other four utilities say their initial inventory was finished before the October 16th, 2024 deadline, with no lead service lines in it. In The Villages, 93.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (ACS 2020 to 2024). Permit offices differ by county. Sumter County's Building Services, at 7375 Powell Road, Wildwood, answers at 352-689-4400 Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., schedules inspections at 352-569-1529 and takes applications in its Cityworks portal.

It uses the 2023 Florida Building Code, Eighth Edition. Its schedule effective 10/1/2024 lists $181 for plumbing on residential new construction. A sewer or septic line connection, a water service connection and miscellaneous plumbing on replacement systems are $82 each, and plan examiners may calculate trade permits from the plans. Marion County Building Safety is at 2710 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, 352-438-2400, and its two pages don't agree on hours. All five reports list the same utility office, (352) 259-2802.
