In our exploration if living at Disney, our
attention turns to water. Florida is surrounded by water, has lakes everywhere,
and it rains 100 days per year. Nevertheless, the cost of municipal water is 3-4
times our cost in upstate New York. I guess it is very expensive to keep the
gators out of the reservoir.
With water being so expensive, how can people afford to water their lawns? Every house is on a sprinkler system. It turns out that every house has a tank buried underground that captures the rain water. When it is time to water the lawn, they pump the water out if the tank.
Sometimes the underground water source can have a strong surfer smell. As a result, many of the Home Owner Associations (HOA) require home owners to water their lawns at night with the hope the sulfur smell will be done by day.
And now you know about the challenges of water when living at Disney!
