My understanding from our sales agent was that in order to continue building, the counties insisted that TV take certain steps to mitigate the overuse of natural resources.

Doesn't seem like that grass is a good way to conserve water. Unless the reason is that one is supposed to let it go brown in the winter?
I would love to have a green lawn.

Yes, zoysia is supposed to go dormant in the winter, just like the bermuda on the golf courses. Once the soil temp goes below a certain level, it will turn brown. You can overseed, or dye it to keep the green color.
