Andrew Adams, KSL NewsradioCall it the end of prohibition -- for xeriscapers.
Basically, conservation-minded landscapers have ignored the law for years. They've ditched water-guzzling grass in favor of sunflowers, things that look like weeds, and others that look like they might wind up in a salad at a fancy restaurant.
