Water restrictions in Burlington, KY — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Kentucky's Division of Water and Public Service Commission oversee drought response, authorizing public water systems to impose mandatory conservation restrictions during emergencies.
The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet's Division of Water administers the Kentucky Drought Mitigation and Response Plan under KRS Chapter 151 and KRS 224.10. Public water systems must develop water shortage response plans approved by the Division and may impose mandatory outdoor watering restrictions when drought conditions trigger response stages. Investor-owned utilities operate under Kentucky Public Service Commission oversight and tariff filings governing emergency restrictions. Local water utilities directly enforce conservation rules including watering day schedules, irrigation bans, and surcharges. Local restrictions during drought derive from this state framework rather than independent municipal authority over water use.
Civil penalties typically range from $50 to $500 per violation; water utilities may suspend service for repeated noncompliance with mandatory restrictions.
