Is there something we don't know that makes this acceptable?
That's not a county restriction.....our water is supplied by the Central Sumpter Utility District which is one of 4 utility companies that serve TV. While there has been numerous discussions on if the water is expensive or not (depends where you came from) there is no way I would let any of my grass or landscaping die because someone stuck a sticker on my irrigation system. I have received letters in past because they claim I was uning too much water when they didn't know what I had planted, how the surrounding environment impacted the viability of the grass and plants, or what I even have. Their decisions is everyone has the same lot and the same landscaping. When the County or State impose restrictions then I will deal with it, or if the CSU agrees to reimburse me for the lost grass and landscaping we can discuss their opinion.
