Water restrictions in Clark County, WA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Clark County itself imposes no countywide lawn-watering schedule. Water is delivered by local utilities and districts, chiefly Clark Public Utilities, which serves Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, and unincorporated north county. Check your provider for any conservation measures; CPU charges a higher summer peak rate rather than a mandatory watering ban.
In southwest Washington, water supply is a utility-district function, not a county ordinance. Clark Public Utilities supplies water to Hazel Dell, Salmon Creek, and parts of unincorporated Clark County; cities and small water systems serve other areas. CPU uses seasonal pricing (a higher June-September peak rate) and voluntary conservation rather than fixed odd/even watering days. Always confirm rules directly with your specific water provider.
Enforcement, surcharges, or drought restrictions, if any, are set and applied by your individual water utility under its own rate schedule and tariff, not by county code.
