Conway, AR Landscaping Rules: Water Restrictions (2026)

Conway Municipal Code § 7.64.01, adopted by Ord. No. O-99-74, gives the management of the Conway Corporation the power to implement emergency water curtailment whenever a shortage of water exists within the city's water system. The section goes further than a simple advisory: any curtailment policy the utility develops during a shortage has "the full force and effect of law," meaning a curtailment notice functions as binding regulation, not a suggestion, the moment Conway Corporation issues it. The code does not itself list watering days, hours, or specific restricted uses; those details are left to the policy the utility adopts at the time of a declared shortage, so residents must follow whatever schedule or use limits Conway Corporation publishes when curtailment is in effect.

Enforcement runs through § 7.64.02, which makes violation of the curtailment provisions or any policy adopted under them a misdemeanor. There is no separate permit process to seek an exception; the ordinance treats every curtailment policy as self-executing law once announced. Because the utility, not the City Council, controls both the trigger and the content of any restriction, residents should check directly with Conway Corporation, rather than city hall, for the current status of any active curtailment order.
