You are maintaining your lawn improperly. You are no doubt trying to grow Empire Zoysia on top of 4 inches of thatch (like most people). The roots are meandering around the thatch instead of being 8 inches into the ground. This will cause the grass to go dormant after only a day or 2 of hot/dry weather because the roots are shallow. Mow the lawn to 2 inches so the thatch layer wont pile up. Once you have in-ground root system, you will find you only need to water one inch once per week.

We cut it down to 15 minutes and lawn looks great and cost of irrigation water a lot cheaper.

Could probably reduce to 2x a week but like the looks of our lawn and shrubs so leaving it alone

Most if not all deed restrictions only allows for watering 2 days a week.

Seems like a lot of people around where we live do it 3 or more times a week.

In any case we are now at 2x.
