Water restrictions in Davis County, UT — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Utah has no statewide mandatory homeowner watering ban. In Davis County, the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District issues conservation guidance: skip midday watering and water only a few days per week.
Most Davis County homes get outdoor irrigation from secondary (untreated) water supplied through the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District. There is no permanent statewide law forcing homeowners to a fixed watering schedule; instead the district publishes conservation guidance and, in drought years, sets allocation limits. Weber Basin advises watering no more than about three days per week in mid-summer and not irrigating between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to cut evaporation loss. In severe drought seasons the district has capped allocations (for example a percentage reduction) and cities may add temporary restrictions, but these are honestly conservation measures and allocation caps, not a blanket statutory homeowner ban.
Guidance is voluntary; where a city or district adopts drought restrictions or allocation caps, exceeding an allocation can bring warnings and escalating fees under that program.
