I hope the district monitors by the amount of water used. My area of TV has a lot of clay under the surface, so water tends to run off or pool. As a result, a lot of my zoysia is infested with torpedo grass.Torpedo grass loves wet conditions, and the clay soil creates just that situation with normal watering. After discussing this with my lawn maintenance company, their suggestion was to divide my sprinkler times by 4 or 5 and water four days a week at the reduced times. So, my system may be running on an "off" day but my total water use will actually be less than if I ran it twice a week at the regular run times per zone.
They will also be spraying an herbicide that may control the torpedo grass. It will discolor the zoysia but it should recover in a few weeks.
