The irrigation water south of 466 is actually rain water collected in the retention ponds and augmented with other sources. See post #91.

I try to only worry about things I CAN CHANGE.
I would expect, reclaimed water is going to cause more issues with the valves and heads used in your irrigation system. I have wondered how safe it is to eat fruit and vegetables we might be growing. For that matter how consistent the quality is

As to meter reading. Again not sure what system you have and I am no expert. In our system they do have a meter reader person. The meter is undeer one of those green plastic covers, we have all over the place. He does not even need to remove the cover to read it. He has a handheld device that reads right through the cover
