Correct ... I am in Amelia and our stinky irrigation water comes from retention ponds as well as aquifer water. Village Community Development Districts Water

Frankly I don't care where it comes from or how it gets here but it smells vile for the first couple minutes. While it may not smell EXACTLY like poop (maybe I'll to do a side by side comparison some day ) it's poopie stinky enough to nauseate me and make me jump in the shower if I get sprayed.
