Water restrictions in Coon Rapids, MN — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Minnesota has no statewide homeowner watering ban. Restrictions come from your city or utility. Blaine enforces an odd/even sprinkling schedule and bans daytime sprinkling from May 15 to September 15.
There is no statewide sprinkling ban in Minnesota; the DNR only permits large water appropriators (over 10,000 gallons/day or one million/year), and the Metropolitan Council promotes conservation, but everyday lawn watering is set by each city or water utility. Anoka County cities commonly use odd/even schedules. In Blaine, even-numbered addresses may sprinkle on even days and odd-numbered addresses on odd days, and from May 15 until September 15 no sprinkling is allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to cut evaporation loss. Hand-watering with a can or hose and private-well irrigation are exempt; new sod may be watered daily for 30 days with an exemption. Check your own city's schedule.
In Blaine, sprinkling violations are billed to the property owner on a 30-day cycle; unpaid fees become delinquent with a 10% late fee and may be certified to Anoka County taxes.
