Good Lord, have you smelled the irrigation water lately?
Always foul, but are they using straight sewage now?

I was working with ours this morning and no odor.

Depends on where you live and how long it's been since you last turned it on or how many people flush at once. :D Some areas use potable water some not. Ours NOT. We have the "sewer-poop-like" water here (Amelia). It's gross. When I get sprayed by it I have to take a shower. I find it's at it's worse when you haven't watered in a while.

OMG. Yuk!!
Have you called anyone about it? |

It doesn't taste any worse!

Always foul is not bacteria and the "always" indicates that the OP does run his sprinklers. They have a problem beyond bacteria. |
In case you are wondering, treated wastewater is not used for residential irrigation in The Villages. It is, however, used for golf course irrigation.

A. The water from the same system used inside the home if one lives North of 466. OR. B. The water from the network of drainage ponds used for irrigation and flood control on the South side of 466. The grass and flowers do not seem to mind it. All bacteria does not harm. Some bacteria is stinky. Viruses are in the news, get vaccinated now against Herpes Zoster. |

Let me know when it starts smelling better so I can re-start my front yard morning showers again.

Does anyone KNOW?
We are on the southside and have two separate water systems.
One is potable water, used in the home, the other is used in the sprinkler system. As I understand it we actually pay more for water on the southside and the sprinkler water, less treated, should actually be cheaper. Has anyone tested the sprinkler water? I would assume it includes stuff like insecticides, fertilizer etc. Is it safe to use on FOOD CROPS? Is it consistent quality? Is it monitored? The water definitely has IRON in it. Perhaps good for the lawn but it does leave brown stains where it hits the cement. |
