Ohhhh... my HOA is west of Austin. We've been in stage 3 draught restrictions since 2016. That means one-day-a-week watering, and total water expenditure limits. I have the 3rd largest lot in the neighborhood. When the temperature goes above 105°F, the lawn requires 1" of water per day, which would be 75k gallons per month. With penalties, this would be a 50k$/month water bill. Needless to say, the lawn is ... dirt. The HOA sent letters, telling us to water, so we told them to foot the water bill through the water district first (which was a HOA change made a few years ago, thankfully). They STFU pretty quickly after that.
