Lawns in Utah

I find it ironic that I now live in the third dryest state in the union, and people grow grass like there is water here. The city wherein I dwell sent out a flier saying to water 2-3 times a week in twenty minute intervals. I do that and my lawn is yellow and crackly. How many times a week do my neighbors water? How about 5-7 days a week, for hours at a time. I wonder if they know the difference between Utah and Tennessee, you know, precipitation. It bugs me that people throw that much water on what is ultimately a symbol of "God couldn't make it grow here, but I can." I'll keep my yellow lawn.
