And you're correct about adding another zone to your existing irrigation system. Not a quick job. Also, I've read many posts suggesting not to water using reclaimed water, if you're growing veggies. Of course if you live north of 466, your irrigation water is potable.

Far as using reclaimed water on edible crops, I've asked several times. Cooperative extension the reply was we will get back to you-and they never did.
I believe the reclaimed water is marginally treated. You are not supposed to drink it. I expect it's quality varies over the year. Insecticides? Dog waste? Your crops are likely hit with your in ground sprinkler system, so it is hit with the recycled water. I am not aware of anyone who got sick from eating produce due to reclaimed water.
