Who said anything about drinking water?? Are you trying to say that additional development does not stress the area water supply? Where is the water for golf courses and lawns coming from if the retention ponds are too low? If retention ponds are created with additional development, rain water that would normally go to the area aquafers will instead go to the retention ponds. There was insufficient water this year to properly overseed the championship courses. It will only get worse when they build additional courses and homes.
