Water restrictions in Lima, OH — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Lima has no standing lawn-watering ban or odd/even schedule. The City's Utilities Department draws on roughly 15 billion gallons of reservoir storage, so outdoor watering is unrestricted absent a declared shortage.
Lima does not impose year-round outdoor watering restrictions. The City's Utilities Department operates five up-ground reservoirs holding about 15 billion gallons and a 30-million-gallon-per-day treatment plant, so residents may water lawns and gardens freely under normal conditions. Ohio does not mandate statewide outdoor watering rules; conservation is managed locally by each utility. During a drought or supply emergency the City could issue a voluntary or mandatory conservation advisory, but no permanent schedule or ban applies. Check limawater.cityhall.lima.oh.us for any current advisory before assuming restrictions apply.
No routine penalty because no standing restriction exists; violations would only arise if the City issued a mandatory conservation order during a declared water emergency.
