seems very odd to me. Where you live you don't need to worry about freezing however, the coolant keeps oxidation down in the cooling system so it doesn't rust out. I also have no idea why they would've topped up the overflow to the neck.
The overflow should be around the Full mark when Hot. A little higher is fine, but at the neck is too high as it will just spill over. I'd go back to the dealership and ask whats going on |

Also, tap water contains a helluva lot more calcium than proper coolant, which will cause calcium deposits to clog up the radiator and hoses.

^^^^^This is the case with my blue Yaris. At one point the coolant level (when cold) was low, so I added half a container of the pink stuff I purchased at a Toyota dealer. I've never done a flush, nor added any water. Still on the original radiator, hoses, and water pump at 300k plus miles.
