Water restrictions in Fayetteville, AR — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Fayetteville has no mandatory year-round watering schedule. Beaver Lake supplies ample water through the Beaver Water District, so outdoor watering is unrestricted in normal conditions; conservation is voluntary and rain barrels are encouraged.
Fayetteville draws its drinking water from Beaver Lake via the Beaver Water District, a reliable regional supply, so the city does not impose a permanent odd-even or day-of-week watering schedule. Arkansas is not a chronically drought-restricted state, and outdoor irrigation is unrestricted under normal conditions. The Arkansas Natural Resources Division monitors statewide drought and water planning, and short-term voluntary conservation requests can occur during severe dry spells, but mandatory rationing is rare. Residents are encouraged to conserve through efficient irrigation, rain barrels, and drought-tolerant landscaping rather than under a fixed legal schedule.
No routine watering restrictions apply, so there are no standing irrigation fines. Any penalties would arise only under a temporary conservation order issued during a declared drought emergency.
