Yes they are using reclaimed sewage water;
Don't know why they still have the smell;
All new courses are going to use that water and " thats the price you pay
to live on the new courses".

Anybody else notice the same smelly problem recently, or did we just hit it on a bad night? We were considering a new build in the area, but now????
I was over there durring the week and they were putting a high grade fertilizer down by tractor. It smelled like ?. So I would imagine when it gets wet it repeats the smell until it sets in. JMO
