Don't know why keeping the grass wet is important. I suppose if it's wetting down barkdust or something.

If fire suppression were standard, then infrastructure would be built to accommodate. I kinda doubt the whole neighborhood running 1-2 GPM would cause a drastic drop in water pressure at the hydrant, but I'm willing to be wrong.

The idea is just to keep everything wet. Doesn't have to be a flood of water.
