I made a trip west on 466a yesterday around 10:00am and back east around 3:00pm....at both times numerous sprinklers were running and the smell was awful. The question of the day for me is why do we run sprinklers in the middle of the day? Reclaimed water or not, this is a waste of both water & electricity, AND it was raining on my return trip! I owned a home in Lake County and we were not permitted to operate our sprinklers between 10am and 5pm....reason given was that during the heat of the day, the water evaporates before it has time to absorb into the ground. I guess the water in the Villages is "fast absorbing"...ha!
