Mashantucket Tribe goes green for golf courses
Friday, December 2, 2005
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is using recycled water to irrigate two golf courses.
The tribe obtained a wastewater re-use permit, the first of its kind, from the state Department of Environmental Protection. The permit allows the tribe to use about 600,000 gallons of recycled water for two 18-hold golf courses.
The golf courses are located on a 1,200-acre property known as Lake of the Isles. The land is not held in trust.
