The major benefits would be: people’s lawns might look better, and that would draw down the water more than having TV water specific areas for 6 hours a day
The problem with that is people don't read the paper, don't go to websites like this, don't listen to the radio, don't pay attention to any of the outlets that distribute that kind of information ad nauseum. Don't even speak with their neighbors. So if someone is watering their lawn on any day other than their assigned days some trolls will complain to the powers that be that their neighbor is in violation of some obscure "covenant". The Villages has the flood mitigation under control. If you get splashed in your golf cart that's a small price to pay for not having your home flooded.
