Apparently some people find it funny (I don't), when I say that my dogs are no longer allowed on neighborhood lawns I'm not kidding.

Do your own research, google health risks associated with this and then continue to make jokes.

Exactly what would you google?
There is zero untreated sewage used for irrigation. The irrigation water is recycled storm water which is collected in the ponds. The amount of H2S in the water is extremely low. The human nose can detect H2S in quantities far less than toxic levels.

Your dog is far more at risk from severe burns on its feet from walking on hot pavement than from the residue of irrigation waters in The Villages. Special attention should be paid to lawns that have been freshly sprayed with fertilizer and pesticides, but most reputable lawncare companies put a sign in the yard informing all of the recent application.
