An example of advocacy in action, which is important for all stakeholder to do, longtime Fountain Hills resident and member of the local golf community, Jeff Lessig recently submitted an opinion piece to the Fountain Hills Times Independent.
The article, titled “Golf courses and water have a sustainable relationship in Fountain Hills,” tracks the route of wastewater from the drains of 25,000 residential homes to the golf courses, parks, and even the town’s namesake fountain itself. Of course, before it’s used for irrigation, the wastewater is cleaned up by the Fountain Hills Sanitary District.
It’s a great example of sustainable practices producing a win-win situation for everyone from tourists and residents taking a walk in the park to golfers enjoying one of the four golf courses set in a spectacular location on the eastern edge of the Valley of the Sun.
And it’s a great example of a golf industry insider taking the time to provide the type of informative perspective to the public that they, otherwise, wouldn’t get.
