The decorative grass alongside office parks and industrial buildings are probably going brown this summer.
"California is facing a drought crisis and every local water agency and Californian needs to step up on conservation efforts," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement."I am hopeful the measures enacted by the State Water Board will lead to a reduction of water use across the state."
Outdoor landscaping is identified as the biggest usage of water throughout the state, according to most water officials. While the water board says recycled, or gray, water can be used to irrigate turf, officials say watering priority should be given to trees to keep them alive and help keep neighborhoods cool.
Water suppliers and local government will be tasked with enforcing the ban, and violators could be hit with conservation orders and fines of up to $500 per day.
