Treated effluent from the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant in West Ocean City will be used for irrigation at Eagles Landing Golf Course, pending the approval of the Worcester County Commissioners following a public hearing on the issue.
Additional treated effluent would be redirected to the Ocean City wastewater treatment plant when capacity does not exist at the municipal golf course or the injection wells currently used. The application for the text amendment to the county’s Comprehensive Water and Sewerage Plan Amendment also requests the expansion of the permitted flow from the Mystic Harbour wastewater treatment plant from the currently approved 250,000 gallons per day to 450,000 gallons per day.
The Mystic Harbour plant was built with a capacity of 450,000 gallons per day, but to fully utilize that capacity, provisions must be made for the disposal of the treated effluent. The plant now uses shallow groundwater injection wells for effluent disposal. Those wells, however, are not reliable and are permitted for only 250,000 gallons per day of effluent disposal.

Man, that's going to be a "crappy" course! They should do that at GHYCC, it would help that goat track. Can't help the membership though.
are there any drinking wells within 1 mile? Sounds serious if this becomes a very wet area after storms. Not sure the genie can be put back in THAT bottle.
I have played on many incredible Golf Courses on the west coast where this is done. The water is pre treated.
Many of the Golf Courses in the desert in Arizona are like this.
It will not hurt your well.
