Water restrictions in Galloway Township, NJ — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
The NJ Department of Environmental Protection may impose statewide or regional water use restrictions during drought warnings or emergencies under the Water Supply Management Act.
Under the Water Supply Management Act (NJSA 58:1A-1 et seq.) and the Emergency Water Supply Allocation Act (NJSA 58:2A-1 et seq.), the NJDEP and the Governor may declare drought watches, warnings, or emergencies and impose mandatory restrictions on outdoor water use, including lawn watering, car washing, and ornamental fountain operation. These statewide rules apply regardless of whether a municipality has its own water conservation ordinance and override less restrictive local rules during declared events.
Violations of a declared drought emergency restriction can result in civil penalties up to $1,000 per day per offense under NJSA 58:1A-16, with each day a separate violation.
