My water bill is back to $45/month. Home insurance 1200. Property taxes 2200. On and on it goes. North Georgia mountains is a better value and much more temperate climate.
Still reading TOTV………

Be careful, the air contains germs that can kill you. I suggest using a respirator each time you go outside. One with an air tank like fireman use.

Better to be over protected, right?

His does not glow either but people do sure love to lie.

The smell and yellowish color are from the sulfur in the water. Nothing cataclysmic...

Costs can vary by locale, but that is a huge difference!!

Of course my irrigation water doesn't glow in the dark (at least not that I know of). But my sense of humor is to stretch the truth or fib to outrageous limits until even the most gullible realize I'm just having fun with them.
I wonder if anyone actually checked their sprinklers at night to see if the water glowed.

Since 2007 I have run in each of our 5 villages (4 between the 6’s) from 2am to 4am.

I can definitely swear on a stack of whatever you believe, sadly the water has zero illumination. There however is a reflection from the storm drains from all the irrigation watering the roads.
Each village the irrigation smells exactly the same sulfur odor. Like the weird taste of water in all of the restaurants.
On average I will pass no less than 20 homes with irrigation running, each with the same levels of odor, one CW vehicle, more bats than one wants to count. Usually only one house with lights and the glow of a TV.
One would think a new village water would be less fragrant, but not the case.
