So I have nothing to add to this string but the following excellent observation got me to thinking. This water is constantly being recycled picking up steadily increasing concentrations of possibly cancer producing chemicals being dumped into water that feeds our irrigation systems. Seems like there should be some periodic testing of that water for health reasons.
“ As far as the pond water….well, there’s all kinds of chemicals that run off into them…..from the golf course grounds crew treating the courses for weeds, the contractor that treats them (the ponds) for algae and submersed vegetation, the lawn care company (and homeowner / Villager) applying fertilizer or what ever…….it all runs down the street into the culverts that eventually lead to the ponds, that inevitably supply the water that we use to irrigate our lawns and shrubs.”
