Default What does the water company charge you for?

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. so you're going to lower
the temperature in the area by wasting water on a lawn. What a gass!

Why irrigate a yard ANYwhere?



Environmental cooling. A lawn with non-dormant
grass can easily be 10 degrees cooler than the
same surface baked into straw-covered tile.
IF water is cheap enough, this is a reasonable
response to a heat wave.
