The Scottsdale City Council unanimously agreed to ban natural grass in front of future single-family homes as the water shortage in the region made it essential to conserve water. The new ordinance takes effect for new houses constructed or permitted after August 15.
In June, limits were placed on construction in the Phoenix area, due to groundwater depletion.
