Water restrictions in Crown Point, IN — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Lake County, Indiana sets no county-wide day-of-week lawn watering schedule. Northwest Indiana is not a drought-rationing region, and outdoor water use is governed by your water utility (often Indiana American Water) plus state DNR water-shortage authority, not by a county ordinance.
Unlike the arid West, Indiana has no standing odd/even or two-day watering rule for Lake County. Water supply is riparian and regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, which can impose restrictions only during a declared significant water shortage. Day-to-day outdoor watering rules, if any, come from your retail provider: much of the Region is served by Indiana American Water, along with municipal utilities in Gary, Hammond, and other cities. Check your utility's conservation notices during dry summers rather than a county code section. (Any May 15-September 15 schedule you see is Lake County, Illinois, not Indiana.)
No county penalty exists; utility-imposed conservation limits are enforced by the water provider, and DNR shortage orders carry state penalties only when a shortage is formally declared.
