I think I'm going to suggest, "it depends". Any idea *what* recycled water is being used? Water that's been through a processing plant, water that's washed dishes/hands etc.. It's not likely to have unusual levels of toxins like lead, or they wouldn't be allowed to use it. Even really high levels of pathogens and the health department would probably give them grief. Lastly, *how* is the irrigation being done - in other words, is the water being sprayed on the plants, or is a lot splashing on the plants?
a) maybe if you feel you're severely immune compromised. Otherwise I'd wait and see.
b) I would try to determine some of the issues I mentioned above because "the dose makes the poison".
c) If it turns out that the only real risk is pathogens, I would go ahead and harvest but *only* to make something like Jam that gets really thorough boiling. If the water is not being sprayed on the fruit itself, I'd still tend to cook them, but not worry about boiling the heck out of it.
Just my thoughts - I'm not a biologist!
