Water restrictions in Genesee County, MI — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
The Genesee County Drain Commissioner's Water & Waste Services (GCDC WWS) serves most Genesee communities and issues summer water-conservation notices that prohibit lawn watering, filling pools, and washing cars during restricted periods.
Genesee County has a genuine county-level water utility: the Drain Commissioner's Water and Waste Services division supplies water to many local systems. During high-demand summer months it issues Water Conservation Notices to protect system pressure and fire-service backup. When a notice is in effect, all residential and commercial users must limit outdoor water use as instructed. Restrictions can prohibit watering lawns and gardens, filling swimming pools, and washing cars, decks, or siding. There is no permanent odd/even schedule published; restrictions are announced as needed. Customers on a city-run system (like Flint's) follow that city's separate conservation rules.
Ignoring an active conservation notice can lead to utility enforcement, warnings, and in severe cases service action by the water provider. Contact GCDC WWS at 810-732-7870 for the current notice.
