Water restrictions in Coconino County, AZ — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Coconino County sits outside Arizona's Active Management Areas, so the 100-year Assured Water Supply rules do not apply. Instead, Flagstaff runs its own conservation code with a mandatory watering-day schedule and drought stages.
Arizona's groundwater Assured Water Supply and 100-year rules apply inside the Active Management Areas around Phoenix, Tucson, Prescott, and Pinal. Coconino County lies outside all of them, so those AMA rules do not govern here. Flagstaff, which draws on Lake Mary surface water, Inner Basin springs, and wells, instead enforces its own water-conservation code. Outdoor irrigation follows an address-based schedule: odd addresses water Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; even addresses Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday; none on Monday; and no sprinkler irrigation between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Incidental hand watering is exempt. Declared drought stages tighten limits further.
Flagstaff watering violations start around a $25 charge added to the water bill, doubling with each repeat. Declared drought stages add stricter limits and higher penalties.
