I see Still planting those water lillies in the roundabouts? Thought under water restrictions and drought they wasn't supposed to pull up pretty mature flowers, due to the fact newly planted takes three times the water (I'm guessing) to keep them alive.

It smells bad some times because it is incubating smelly little microorganisms when it lies quietly in the pipes where it is dark and warm.

Our reclaimed water in The Villages comes from our retaining ponds.

Smells like it's coming off the bottom of the pond to me?

This water restriction, isn't there between 30 to 50 thousand people away from May thru October not using their portable water, think of that too.

I'm glad that I took the opportunity to read all of the posts in this thread, as I have to admit that the title of the thread didn't interest me at first given that I thought it would be advocating yet more drinking establishments...extending their happy hours.

The snowbirds who have left for the season definitely have their sprinklers set for more than once a week, let alone their specified day for watering.

So what about them?

Just ask your neighbors to help. I've already been contacted by one.

Can anyone tell me how to find out whether I have "reuse" water or not. My homewatch people want to reset my irrigation timer and asked about this. Thanks!

Where do you live? Which village?

Doesn't matter where you live, it effects everyone. I guess there is a difference between reclaimed and non-potable irrigation water. I thought that was also reclaimed water??? They also said if you use are in an area that uses non-potable irrigation water and the levels get too low, they tap into the aquifer. That is how it's justified.

From SWFWMD Declares Ph 3 Water Shortage Order

Residential and general commercial customers in The Villages do not receive reclaimed water. Non-potable irrigation water is not exempt from the restrictions, therefore the restrictions are applicable to The Villages in:
• Sumter County, Districts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12
• Marion County, District 4
• Lake County, District 11

I do not think that part of the villages has any restrictions. I could be wrong, thought I was once.

As I walked our neighborhood today I saw far too many wet streets. Please adjust your irrigation to water your yard and not the street.

Silver Lake uses only regular water for everything, no reclaimed water of any type and not in a district with restrictions.


If you happen to be jogging early morning and get thirsty just drink from any sprinkler.
