Water restrictions in Duluth, GA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Georgia's permanent Outdoor Water Use Rule allows residential landscape watering any day between 4 PM-10 AM. Additional EPD drought-level restrictions apply when declared.
Georgia Rule 391-3-30-.07 (permanent statewide) allows outdoor watering for landscape purposes any day of the week between 4:00 PM and 10:00 AM — this is a water-conservation measure, not a drought restriction. During declared droughts, GA EPD imposes escalating Level 1-4 restrictions reducing days and hours. Drip irrigation, handheld hoses, and food gardens typically exempt. Duluth's water is supplied by Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, which enforces violations.
Violations: warning first offense; fines $100-$1,000 under GWRA and local ordinance. Water service can be disconnected for repeated violations during declared droughts.
