Water restrictions in Coweta County, GA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Coweta County is in the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, so outdoor irrigation is allowed only between 4 PM and 10 AM daily, year-round, under Georgia's 2010 Water Stewardship Act (O.C.G.A. 12-5-7).
Coweta County sits inside the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, the 15-county metro-Atlanta region with the state's tightest water rules. Under the Georgia Water Stewardship Act of 2010 (O.C.G.A. 12-5-7), outdoor landscape irrigation is permitted only between 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM every day, year-round. This is permanent law, not a temporary drought response, and the overnight-into-morning window cuts evaporation loss. Hand-watering, drip irrigation, food gardens, and new-plant establishment carry statutory exceptions. In a declared drought, Georgia EPD can tighten the schedule further. Water is supplied by the Coweta County Water & Sewerage Authority and, in the city, Newnan Utilities.
First violation typically a warning. Repeat violations bring escalating fines from the water utility. Watering outside the window during a declared drought can bring larger penalties or service action.
