There are many more ways water gets wasted other than watering grass. More water gets wasted at the car wash with people having to have shiny rides all summer.
It rains here so much till July that grass doesn’t even need to be watered. Then for the drier months july to september a bit of summer fertilizer and the occasional watering is good enough.
Grass only needs about 22mm of water every week. Overwatering is the bigger problem.
Is there a water shortage in Calgary?
