The secret to good watering is to do so deeply and infrequently.
Once a week for 40 minutes is better than 7 times a week for 10 minutes.
Is this a brand new cypress tree? If you've only recently (last year or so) planted it, then it's still in the adjustment period for being in its new locale.
I would try watering more like twice in a week for 30 minutes, say Monday and Thursday or Friday. This will allow for normal moderate drying in beween, and will also train grass roots to dig deeper for water and hence make them more drought tolerant come next year.
