Outdoor Water Use Information

     The State of Georgia has returned to a non-drought schedule for outdoor water use.  Under a non-drought schedule, outdoor water use is allowed three days a week on assigned days using odd and even-numbered addresses.

  

  • Odd-numbered addresses can water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. 
  • Even-numbered and unnumbered addresses are allowed to water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. 

     Water use may occur at any time of the day on the assigned days, but to be water efficient, landscape watering should not occur between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.  The non-drought schedule is included in the Rules for Outdoor Water Use adopted by the Board of Natural Resources in 2004.
