Having said that though, I can say that our lawn is probably one of the greenest along the entire street. That's probably for two reasons; one that Massey takes good care of the fertalizing and the other that our lawn service doesn't cut the grass too short or too often. Therefore IMHO, the once a week watering is not necessarily the problem, but rather inadequate fertalization along with grass being cut too short and too often in many cases.

Grass will go dormant and brown out as a protection. When the water returns, so will the green grass....nothing to fear.
