It is good to warn others that this could happen but an errant sprinkler sprinkling your yard is an advantage, just not your pool. Your own sprinklers could do that too. And south of 466 they are diverted retention pond water.

Hi Gracie,
Sorry, but I have to disagree, just because someone does not show signs of sickness does not mean they have not been infected with some slow developing problem.
I am not trying to scaremonger, but this needs addressing before it damages someone, not after.
The point you make about our own property sprinklers is, with respect, not valid either.
These golf course sprinklers emit huge amounts of water at around 100psi., which gives a far larger volume of contaminant than yourhouse sprinklers do in a very short space of time and I would be very surprised if anyone with a pool has a sprinkler head near it.
The only good point about this incident is the speed of response and solution, which was excellent.
