I have 9 plants in the back of the house and just started running the sprinkler system there a few weeks ago. The plants have fatally withered.
Thanks a bunch, Tom.

Short answer no.
Longer answer...new homes use reclaimed water and have a separate water system for irrigation, older homes use the same water as the residents in the house use.
Longer, Longer answer, having spend a bunch of time in the 3rd world, I've seen tomato plants watered with black dookie water, brown sludge water, and clear stream water and the plants all thrive.
The issue is probably related to the soil, a fungus, snails, other bugs, too much water, or a million other little things.
