Water restrictions in Kaneohe, HI — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Kaneohe irrigation follows Board of Water Supply drought schedules; ROH Chapter 30 Sec. 30-2.3 frames the city's water management and conservation policy.
Kaneohe's windward climate provides abundant rainfall, yet irrigation still drives summer demand for Kaneohe Bay Drive, Lulani Ocean, and Pikoiloa subdivisions during dry spells. ROH Chapter 30, Sec. 30-2.3 covers water management strategies, including conservation, allocations, pricing tiers, and non-potable supply policy. Operational shortage rules (stages 1 through 4) and day-of-week watering schedules are issued by the Honolulu Board of Water Supply rather than codified in ROH. During drought declarations, BWS enforces spray-irrigation windows and bans certain uses (such as washing driveways), and repeated violations can result in fines or flow restrictors installed at the meter.
BWS warns first offenders and may escalate to fines or flow restrictors during declared shortage stages for repeat violators.
