Irrigation System
I had an opportunity to take a tour of the reclaimed water plant on Buena Vista about 2 years ago. It was truly impressive and at least on that day didn't detect much of a odor. Once the water is reprocessed the sludge remaining is packaged and sold for fertilizer. The gentleman giving the tour claimed that the reprocessed water tested as pure as drinking water. I am not a chemist so felt not in a position to challenge that assertion. However, the filter systems in spa and pools do a good job of recycling water and given the sophication of this plant seem plausible.
I never had detected an odor from my system. And if your a golfer chances are you have walked on the fairway just after it had been watered. In fact some like me may have gotten soak from an unsuspecting irrigation head.
