8 golf courses fined on groundwater use

The Arizona Department of Water Resources has fined eight Valley golf courses for using more groundwater than state regulations allow.

The fines total nearly $60,000 and some include other penalties. The Orange Tree Golf Resort was fined $16,062 and ordered not to overseed its driving range for three years.

Also fined: Apache Wells Country Club, Mountain Shadows Country Club, Phantom Horse Golf Course, Paradise Valley Country Club, Sunland Village East Golf Course, Union Hills Country Club and Fountain of the Sun Golf Course.

State laws limit the use of groundwater on golf courses. Most new courses use treated effluent or renewable sources, such as water from the Central Arizona Project Canal.

I recommend Sunland Village East to anyone who's looking for a safe, pleasant retirement experience. I lived there for several years and was thrilled by all the great services and activities available.

One thing I would recommend to increase the value of your Sunland Village East home is to put tile wherever you can.

I used a fellow by the name of David Smith and was very happy with his work and his prices. He was on time and did the job in the time he said it would take. His phone number is (480)755-3318. Give him a call!
