The general notice states: "Reclaimed Water
Reclaimed water remains subject to voluntary watering hours, unless blended with another water source or restricted by the local government or utility."

Since we irrigate with reclaimed water we don't fall under the once a week restriction and should continue under The Villages twice a week program.
It isn't reclaimed from the SEPTIC SYSTEM.

It smells bad some times because it is incubating smelly little microorganisms when it lies quietly in the pipes where it is dark and warm.

Our reclaimed water in The Villages comes from our retaining ponds.
