Wait, you have watering bans in New England?

First, you need to water in New England? I thought you got enough rain out there.

Second, you have water shortages? Or was there another reason for the watering ban?

Yep, absolutely.

There have been watering limits/bans for as long as I can remember. (I'm in my mid-40s).

Some towns have them and some don't. But the signs go up when we go into droughts.

As for whether you need to water.. it depends on what someone is going for. If you want ground cover that's got lots of weeds and native plants and isn't pure green then don't need to water. If you want a pure green golf course style lawn you will need to water.
