Water restrictions in Gwinnett County, GA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources follows Georgia EPD outdoor water rules: odd/even address schedule and daily outdoor irrigation restricted to 4 PM-10 AM year-round per Georgia Water Stewardship Act.
The 2010 Georgia Water Stewardship Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-7) restricts outdoor landscape irrigation to 4:00 PM-10:00 AM statewide. Gwinnett DWR enforces this schedule and layers additional drought-level restrictions issued by GA EPD (Level 1-4). Hand watering, drip irrigation, new sod/seed exemptions, and car washing typically allowed outside the window. Drought Level 2+ can further restrict days/hours.
First offense: typically a written warning. Repeat offenses: escalating fines ($250+ under state/local schedules) and potential water service restrictions.
