Good questions from down in the comment areas below! Bluegreen has spoken of using an average of 100,000 gallons of water per day but a new course, with un-established turf during a draught will require significantly more water than their original estimate. They plan to confiscate water from the Haw River during times of high water levels and store that water in a containment pond. But my bet is that pond would be dry if we have a repeat of this summer and then they are forced to confiscate additional water during a time of very low flow.
They may need well over 400,000 gallons of water per day during the hot dry summer months with tender young turf.
Rockingham County may be far better off to manage their water resources with an eye on our ongoing drought and the long term needs of the residents of Rockingham County. Water lines run to the far stretches of Rockingham County will be over utilized down the road as more and more developments tie onto those water line.

What's up with Rockingham County sending their water to Guilford County?
This project may be the final straw before the State issues new rules for development upstream from the Lake Jordan, almost all of Guilford County, duh!
This could get very expensive for developers and builders as new rules will require more setback, detention ponds, yada yada yada....
Wake up and stop this mess out on Church St. and 150.
