Is it to drain the aquifer? obviously not
As we all know the courses south of 466 use wastewater and aquifer only. I don't know what water source is used in roadside/MMP irrigation and would not assume it is the same water as used on the golf courses without some authoritative link.
But if the goal is to lower the retention ponds then having homeowners irrigate would lower them. But running irrigation on golf courses does nothing to lower retention ponds south of 466.
