We don't in Phoenix yet but think we might at some point. Shocks me that you do when you have a big *** river running through your city and we don't.
I didn't know you could hand water anytime. Does that mean you could theoretically water your grass with your hose every day If you wanted?

We get our water from an aquafor recharge zone. This year has been pretty bad. We were in stage one probably a month and a half earlier this year compared to last.PHXCobra said:
Yes we can water by hand everyday if we wanted though I hope it does not get to that. If that happens I will probably concentrate on just the front yard.

Is putting in an irrigation well an option?
I live just up the road in Boerne and we are on year-round water restrictions. I hear you on the serious lack of rain this year. It's been hot too! My sod was laid in February and I've just been watering once a week putting down about 1.25" each time. It's been weathering the heat quite nicely.
As long as you have sprinklers and a small enough yard to get all your water down in 4 hours, you should be fine.

I got a quote for myself and it was $2500, which included the drilling, and that little pump aparatus. Then you water as much as you want, whenever you want, and you're just paying for the electricity to run a small pump. Good to have a backup in case of SHTF too.

Now we are going to stage 3 restrictions. Next week, for sure. :lol:
I'm in Liberty Hill, TX - Our water is serviced by Georgetown utilities which just lost a major pump in their system. We've been banned from any outdoor watering (hand watering allowed but discouraged). Repairs may take two weeks. With the 100 degree heat we have my grass was taking a beating. Last night I hand watered the front as best i could. Happy with the comeback on the Bermuda. Best of luck down in SA.

Wow I have never lived with water restrictions. Most of the time we have too much.

The Tennessee River would have to run dry for that to happen here. Years ago, the water treatment plant was grossly overbuilt. They try to get rid of water.

I'm almost 100 percent positive you won't be able to do that and no one will drill an illegal well for you. But I'd at least investigate.Ral1121 said:

This sucks for all involved. You definitely can't keep a green lawn like this. Pray for plenty of rain.
