Tried swapping my lawn for native plants after that drought last summer in Phoenix

Water bill hit $280 in July. I was done. Ripped out the front yard grass and put in desert sage and red yucca. Took a Saturday and maybe $60 in plants from a local nursery. Now my bill is under $100 and I haven't watered since October. Did anyone else's HOA give them crap for this? Mine sent a letter and I'm fighting it.

My neighbor in Scottsdale got a letter too but he checked his HOA bylaws and there was a loophole about "xeriscape approved plants" that let him keep everything... might be worth digging through your fine print before you fight them.

Ha, that's funny because my HOA letter was so aggressive I thought they were gonna waterboard me with my old sprinkler system. Hope you find that bylaws loophole before I end up on the neighborhood wanted poster.
