The surcharge for the most part seems to be working but there are those who still don't care. They water in the daytime, when it's raining, several days a week or haven't had their system looked at in ages and more water runs down the street then goes on the lawn. IF you've dropped down to once a week and adjusted your time the water portion of your bill certainly went down. My consumption last month was 1000 gallons down from 11,000 gals the previous month and my lawn looks fine.
