Iwould suggest it does not require sewage meters, just basing sewer fees on 
metered water used.  Unfortunately for the residents, they could get charged 
more for sewage by watering their lawn; but what we are after here is cutting 
water use, eh?  Seriously, however, sewer fees could be devised based on the 
non-lawn watering months and let water rates control irrigation.
