I can tell you this much, many HOA's have really particular parameters on their watering requests. Very few of them are designed and written according to environmental or plant health. Most really over water badly. The maintenance company won't do anything unless something is said. The HOA won't change anything unless you bring it to their attention.
I've had several HOA contracts over the years, still have some of them. They all have had recommended watering schedules in the contracts....many asking for the same in January as August! I've tried to advise, occasionally falling on other than a deaf ear.
Good luck!
