Drought, Water Restriction & Lawn Rebate Watch

Track outdoor water use rules and rebates in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: watering day, time and method restrictions, drought stage declarations and fine levels for the 100 largest cities and their water districts; turf replacement, smart controller, rain barrel, greywater and drip irrigation rebates opening, changing amounts or running low on funds, with the amount per square foot or per device; tiered water rate and drought surcharge changes with dates; well permit, groundwater and private well rule changes by state; US Drought Monitor, reservoir and snowpack reports that signal summer restrictions; and native plant sales and free mulch or compost programs from public agencies. Prefer water districts, city utilities, state water boards, the US Drought Monitor and established local reporting; ignore landscaper marketing. Put the city, district or program first in the title with the amount, stage or fine. Use high severity for a restriction taking effect within 14 days with fines, a rebate of $1,000 or more with limited funds, or a rate increase of 10 percent or more. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it applies to, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
