Has the rain accumulations been much higher in the norther part of the Villages? Just curious. Thanks



Back to the original question, why are the courses north of 466 being closed and not the southern courses? Is it because north of 466 the irrigation and the household drinking water are one in the same, so the retention ponds don't get drained by home sprinkler systems? I remember after hurricane IRMA the irrigation systems along the roads north of 466 were running all the time despite the fact that everything was already saturated. Just wondering why the course clousers seem to be limited to the north of 466 section of the Villages?
Hopefully someone will satisfy your answer. I only know north of 466 irrigation of homes is done by domestic water and golf courses by retention ponds or aquifer. South of 466 residential and golf courses by retention and reclaimed wate. If I'm giving wrong info I hope I'm corrected. I did notice after Irma I seen irrigation on villages commercial property running all the time and I was every where doing errands and didn't see the same today.
