Water restrictions in Cumberland County, NC — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Fayetteville PWC water customers follow a year-round odd-even sprinkler schedule: even-numbered addresses water Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday; odd-numbered addresses water Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Hand watering is allowed any time.
The Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC), the water utility for Fayetteville and much of Cumberland County, runs a year-round odd-even outdoor watering schedule to conserve supply. Even addresses (ending 0,2,4,6,8) water Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday; odd addresses (ending 1,3,5,7,9) water Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The schedule applies only to sprinklers, whether hose-fed or automatic irrigation systems. Hand watering, car washing, and use of alternative water sources are unrestricted. During declared drought stages, PWC can tighten limits to set morning/evening hours or ban non-essential outdoor use. Check faypwc.com for the current stage before irrigating.
Sprinkler use outside your assigned days violates the PWC schedule; during mandatory drought stages PWC can issue warnings, fines, or ultimately curtail service for repeat non-essential-use violations.
