Lawn Watering Restrictions

Wondering when you can water your lawn? Lawn watering restrictions are required for communities that supply  water from Lake Michigan. They are in place to help minimize evaporation  during the hottest time of the day.

From May 15 through September 15 of each year:

  • If your address ends in an even number, you can only water your lawn on even-numbered days on the calendar, but not between noon and 6 p.m. on even-numbered days.
  • If your address ends in an odd number, you can only water your lawn on odd-numbered days on the calendar, but not between noon and 6 p.m. on odd-numbered days.
