The Villages use RETENTION PONDS to water, and to protect against flooding by raising and lowering. It doesn't come from toilets, but may contain alligator ****. The Villages waste treatment plants are not used for irrigation for ANYTHING.
The use of retention ponds for irrigation water for lawns happens south of 466.

Golf Course Irrigation:
North of CR 466, golf courses are irrigated with a combination of reclaimed wastewater, storm water runoff that is collected in water retention areas, and groundwater (some upper Floridan and some Lower Floridan, depending on the specific course).
South of CR 466 all golf courses are irrigated with a combination of reclaimed wastewater and lower Floridan groundwater.
