Water restrictions in Glen Cove, NY — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Nassau County sits atop the federally-designated Long Island Sole Source Aquifer, the only drinking water source for 3 million Long Island residents. Nassau County Department of Public Works enforces year-round odd-even lawn watering restrictions, and individual water districts may impose additional drought rules.
Long Island Sole Source Aquifer was designated by EPA in 1978 under the Safe Drinking Water Act, meaning contamination would pose a public health emergency. Nassau County Local Law 1-2016 established countywide odd-even lawn watering: odd-numbered addresses water on odd calendar days, even addresses on even days. Watering is prohibited between 10 AM and 4 PM year-round to reduce evaporation. Individual water districts (Hempstead, Long Beach, Port Washington, etc.) may impose stricter Stage 1/2/3 drought restrictions. NYSDEC also manages withdrawal permits for large users.
Nassau County water restriction violations: $250 first offense, $500 second, $1,000 third. Individual water districts may impose service shutoffs for severe or repeat violations.
