During the late spring / summer heat we will have to water but I don't think it will need a regular watering schedule like some of our neighbors do. We've been watering it regularly since it was just laid down a few months ago but I've been watering less and less as the grass has started to take. I love the idea of rain catch barrels but unfortunately I think our HOA doesn't allow them, I need to look into that too.
we also have water catch barrels in the back yard which are great for keeping potting plants happy if you don't want to run hose water all the time in the heat. you can get those for <$85/piece at Lowe's Depot or wherever.
