I lived for a 21 years in Laramie, Wyo. I know for a fact that the City of Laramie will impose a revenue recapture surcharge when they impose watering restrictions. So, be told to use less water under penalty of law, then pay more money for using less water. I suspect this is commonplace, as the Laramie City Council isn't smart enough to not have copied this from elsewhere.
