Is there a time when water pressure is good… i.e 3 AM?
If no and Water Dept says they can’t help, then reducing the lawn size is probably your best/only option.
In that former lawn area, you could do “natural areas” that contain drought tolerant plants / grasses that are watered by a drip irrigation system. Drip irrigation would use far less water than a lawn system. The removal of a few heads or a zone will definitely help the system overall.
