That is a factor that is unlikely in The Villages. TV water golf courses with reclaimed water and water run off into collection basins, or on the course itself when extreme rainfall amounts. The drinking water in TV comes from one of the largest aquifers in the country. TV also has a state of the art water purification system. Your home has 2 supplies of water...one for drinking and one for irrigation.
The article quoted areas in Minnesota where you do not have the controls that exist in TV.
Now this is the answer I was looking for. Facts from someone who lives there and knows what and where the water comes from and how it all relates to what the reports say are contributing factors. Thank you, remember I said I don’t live there but would like to someday and this report gave me pause. I just needed more info and thank you for answering so thoroughly. I appreciate it.
