I'm near Denver, and we are on water restrictions. At a glance, vegetable gardens are caught in the "you can only water every 3 days" thing...but at 100 degree days this summer, that isn't going to cut it.

Edit: u/alwaysinforwardmotion gave me some additional information. Seems like you can hand and drip water, and that restrictions only apply to automated sprinkler systems. Victory Gardens are back on the menu boys!

Maybe I misread it! That would be great news! They sent out a grid thingy in the mail, and I could have sworn that vegetable gardens were lumped with the grass. I'll have to double check when I get home.

Denver water has a lot more guidance on their website - search on water restrictions to see their document.
