“One of our goals is to get golf courses ?EUR??,,????'??+ public and private ?EUR??,,????'??+ on reclaimed water as quickly as possible,” city engineer Randal Krejcarek said.

Lakeview has been closed since May so workers can expand the lake and set the system up so that the lake fills during the day and irrigation takes place at night.

“We have unlimited watering but want to water during the evening, when it doesn’t evaporate,” said Victor O. Majtenyi, deputy director of public utilities for Delray Beach.

The cost, not including city labor, is about $200,000, he said. The city is spending another $276,129 on having the Lakeview course greens enlarged and outfitted with TifEagle Bermuda grass after the irrigation system is installed. The grass also is fairly resistant to heat.

Lakeview isn’t the only course to undergo change. The city also has installed reclaimed water irrigation systems at the Delray Beach Golf Club, the Hamlet Country Club, Clearbrook, Woodlake, Lago Delray and the Fairways of Delray, Krejcarek said.

Delaire Country Club is scheduled to undergo the change in September, and the city is designing and working on getting money to extend reclaimed irrigation water to its barrier islands.
