This water they filter and add a small mount of chlorine at the water treatment center. This is treated waste water. If you are getting this non-pottable water it's going to be a lot better. The Village water offical did say that this water is also used for fire so when the ponds get low they pump water from the Lower Aquifer to replenish the pond so they always have enough water to fight fires.

For example, here in Osceola Hills there is a large pond across from Rohan Rec Center that supplies much of our Irrigation water. When it is low, I can see a significant amount of sediment and other debris in my filter. When when its full, my filter will stay clean for a long time. So, it depends on where you live and if you have a problem or not.

Just sharing an example filter during low water levels south of 44.
