Because folks were not watering as much as usual because of the surcharge and ban, therefor the retention ponds were much higher than usual before Irma, which is where the irrigation water comes from, than with Irma the ponds overflowed and caused a lot of flooding and damage.

And for those that turned off the irrigation when the ban was put in place, I guess you don't care should you lose your lawn. Only costs about $20 grand to replace it. Yes we had a lot of rain and that may have prevented lawn damage, but suppose you were on vacation and it didn't rain?
