The NSU utility system is comprised of 229 miles of potable water mains, 171 miles of sanitary sewer gravity mains, and 30 lift stations. Irrigation water provided by VWCA is comprised of 244 miles of non-potable water mains.

The CSU utility system is comprised of 138 miles of potable water mains, 107 miles of gravity sanitary sewer mains, and 29 lift stations. Irrigation water provided by SWCA is comprised of 143 miles of non-potable irrigation mains.

Non-potable and reclaimed water are 2 different things.

Per the notice in the post above: "..... It is estimated that to flush all zones, which includes adjusting a total of 3,556 valves
and flushing 1,493 hydrants, ... "

Hydrants would not be fed with reclaimed water. It would most likely be non-potable as it needs less treatment and little to no chlorination.

I believe the OP had reclaimed water at his home for irrigation. If he had a filter in the irrigation line and potable water for irrigation (as is used for some homes above 44), he'd be complaining about his drinking water as they are the same provided by 1 line & 1 meter to his home. Those that use reclaimed water have 2 line to their home and 2 meters.

Not here in the Villages. Either you have potable water and non-potable, irrigation/reclaimed water and two meters or you have one meter and potable water all around.

Which is it, absolutely not or most likely not? Perhaps you should ask the experts which water system feeds the hydrants, it could be either.

From the District web site and I quote ->

"Home Irrigation:

North of CR 466, homes are irrigated with potable water.
South of CR 466, homes are irrigated with non-potable water which is comprised of storm water runoff that is collected in water retention areas and groundwater from the lower Floridan aquifer when storm water supplies are not available."

Non-potable means it isn't up to drinking water standards. It can be water from the aquifer but not treated to drinking water standards that would make it potable or it could be reclaimed - again not to drinking water standards.

Thanks. Storm water would be reclaimed and if you want to extend the definition non-potable because it isn't treated to drinking water standards.

We installed a filter in the irrigation water line. Cost $500 but has eliminated the problem with the sprinkler heads becoming clogged.

An update that will be presented to the NSCUDD board this coming Monday at 3PM.
