They did that where I lived in Texas at the time way back in the bad 2011 drought. I've never heard of them being enforced unless there is a real drought, but they are on the books permanently. I don't think there are any where I live now. It's generally up to the municipality.
The whole "save the water" mindset drives my logic centers crazy anyway. All of the water around here is generally from lakes that fill from rainwater. When the lakes are full and there's plenty of rain (like this year) there is no reason to care about conserving water. If there's no capacity to store what's left, it ends up in the ocean. Not to mention the whole concept of the water table aside from that.

The other circuitous BS they always do involves all of these conserve municipal water schemes through threats & prodding.
Then #Shocked_Pikachu_face#, municipal water usage actually goes down, along with their revenue to fund the infrastructure.
So they subsequently jack up the mill rates for water usage because their smoothbrained conservation plans can no longer fund the system's upkeep.
Resulting in both rationing & expense-as-fuck tax bills.
That's not smooth-brain, that's actually a very clever scam they got going there.
Yep. Once they raise rates, it most certainly will stay raised.
