Check out the Villages Water Wisdom page and especially the Irrigation Schedules.

My home is set to water two days per week. About 20 minutes for lawn zones and 12 minutes for plant zones gives a total of about 90 minutes runtime. My controller has the SolarSync sensor connected which adjust times based on date, sunshine, and rain.

My lawn stays green except for the dry period from May into June when some brown areas appear. Right now it has returned to green. I seem to be using about as much water as my neighbors but more than some have reported in other threads. I may be able to tweak mine a little but it seems pretty good right now.
