Water restrictions in Cedar Park, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Cedar Park is in Stage 1 of its Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Plan (as of April 2026), limiting outdoor irrigation to two assigned days per week before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m. The plan is codified in the Code of Ordinances and escalates to Stage 3 or higher during severe drought.
Cedar Park's Drought Contingency and Water Emergency Plan establishes a multi-stage program (Stages 1-5) administered by Cedar Park Utilities. Residential addresses ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 may irrigate Sundays and Thursdays; addresses ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 may irrigate Wednesdays and Saturdays. Commercial properties and HOAs irrigate Tuesdays and Fridays. No automatic irrigation is permitted between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on any day. Hand watering with a positive shut-off nozzle, drip irrigation, and soaker hoses are allowed within the time-of-day window. In March 2025 the City moved to Stage 3 because of Highland Lakes drought, restricting irrigation to one weekday per address; the City returned to Stage 1 in 2026.
Cedar Park Utilities issues a written warning on first observation. Subsequent violations are citations issued under the Drought Contingency Plan and are Class C misdemeanors prosecuted in municipal court, generally fined up to $2,000 per violation. The City may install flow restrictors or disconnect service in egregious cases. Report violations to the water hotline (512-817-5052).
