That is not the whole story. Between 466 and 44, the irrigation water is not from water treatment plants (treated sewage). The golf courses do use water from water treatment plants. South of 44 (which is south of 466), the irrigation water might be from water treatment plants. Some of the irrigation water might be from other sources such as surface water and wells. Pretty much what I posted.
