    Many places enforce watering restrictions. Usually it’s “even house numbers on even days, odd on odd,” then when it gets hot out, watering only allowed at night. For almost a month my area (in northern Illinois) had a complete water ban, until this recent week now that we’re getting so much rain we’re flooding.

      They do the even/odd thing in my area, as well. A couple years ago it was super bad, and there was a full ban for like a whole month. I think people were getting fined a surprising amount for watering.

      After a few years of that to set the tone, watering one’s grass has kinda become unfashionable. At least in urban areas like mine.
