Florida sometimes promotes xeriscaping.

My step-father did have a well installed for the lone purpose of maintaining the lawn.

It is also a backup supply if the municipal system becomes unavailable.

Also, I do find it odd to water plants with water treated with chlorine and fluoride.

I just researched sugar water for fresh cut flowers. The article actually suggested what seemed to be a substantial amount of chlorine bleach (I think a half-teaspoon per liter) to reduce bacteria and mold, so there are some positive aspects to strong oxidants. (.. and at least the plants will have strong teeth and bones.)

Xeriscaping is fortunately starting to grow in popularity, but the majority of people I discuss it with are still surprised (and often insulted) at the idea of not having and maintaining the traditional grass monoculture.
