HOAs suck

By really? - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I got a notice from the housing association, if I don't water my lawn I will be charged a $150 fine. Yet if I do water my lawn the city with charge me a $150 fine because of the drought. FML

Report the housing association to the city? They probably can't be telling people to do that right now.

Report everyone else for watering during the drought then. They must be if they're mad about you

Gotta love California, huh? I live in Cali too & my town has certain days when you can water your lawn. You should look into that & see if your town/city has that. If not, I just wouldn't water. It's less work & you're helping out; it's a win-win.

A literal example of doomed if you do, doomed if you don't :)

Bring the city citation to the housing representative and tell him he owes the city $150

best bet here, if you kept the letter, is to bring it to city hall and ask for advice on the next course of action

Could you use grey water: water run off from your washing machine, or bath. That's what most people do where I live.
