Albuquerque NM has had similar burn bans for some time -- even went so far several years ago that people who 'still cook' with wood couldn't because of burn bans. When my folks were still alive they got two citations for 'Excessive Watering' - water was 'trickling' down the street curb in both cases while my Dad was hand watering his bushes. First one cost him $250; 2nd one was $500.00 and a 10% penalty on his water bill for the following year. Yet they let Intel water the street and parking lots with their automatic sprinklers there. $$$$$$ speak. Off my rant - sorry -- I just remember that phone call from my Mother who was livid about the cop who wrote the 2nd ticket... I know we have to conserve, and be good stewards of this planet we call home but, come on now, we also have to have reasonable laws and enforcement of those laws. I did say off my rant didn't I...... sorry.
