What kind of infections? Golfers pick up balls and handle clubs that meet the grass that is watered with the same stuff. We haven't had an infection from golfing. This is the first time I have heard of anyone getting a "bad infection from a ballfield here.

Lawn irrigation water stinks because water in the pipes laying in this heat grows bacteria. Lawn irrigation water south of 466 all comes from the retention ponds which I think is a very good idea.
