Well.. if your grass would dry out and become yellow without watering it, then watering is a luxury. The water in deep wells will eventually run out. Why waste

Well.. if your grass would dry out and become yellow without watering it, then watering is a luxury. The water in deep wells will eventually run out. Why waste it on grass?
- sparrish 3y agoBecause my HOA says I have to maintain a green lawn or I get fined.
- bilbo0s 3y agoNo dog in this fight. I moved out of Scottsdale to the Great Lakes region a bit back partly because of the water issue. So I definitely get the natural inclination to not want to have to think about water. All that said, I mean, if your HOA requires this, is the problem with the city charging for water use to upkeep the infrastructure required to deliver it? Or is the issue really just that your HOA has rules that it shouldn't?
- unshavedyak 3y agoYea but the discussion is around water usage practices. Deciding we have to waste water because HOAs say so is of course silly. They need to change.

- tekla 3y agoAny HOA that requires green lawns should be required to pay a tax of minimum $100 per lawn per year it oversees. Its a stupid wasteful policy
- cookie_monsta 3y agoI would be calculating the fine vs water bill comparison. Or ripping up the lawn to plant something more sensible. Or just not living somewhere where an HOA can tell me what to do with my own house
- Dylan16807 3y ago> The water in deep wells will eventually run out. Why waste it on grass? That's a different regulation issue. We shouldn't be overdrawing from those deep wells at almost any price, outside of extreme emergency.
