Lawn Ban Alert in Central Iowa | Des Moines News

Central Iowa Water Works just slapped a lawn-watering ban to ease pressure on the system during scorching heat — sprinklers are off, but your veggies and flowers still get priority care. Cool-season grasses can survive drought-looking brown, bouncing back once temps drop. Water gardens early, at the roots, and avoid peak hours for pools and splash pads. The only exception? New sod without deep roots. Let the grass rest — your plants and your pipes will thank you.
