Water restrictions in Cuyahoga County, OH — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Cleveland Water serves most of Cuyahoga County from Lake Erie and does not impose regular outdoor watering restrictions due to the abundant Great Lakes supply. Emergency restrictions may be declared during main breaks or pressure events. Some inland suburbs on well water manage usage locally.
Cleveland Water Department supplies approximately 1.3 million customers across Cuyahoga and surrounding counties. Unlike arid western states, Northeast Ohio is not subject to drought-driven watering schedules. Customers should follow voluntary conservation guidance and comply with emergency notices.
