Water restrictions in Livonia, MI — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Livonia buys water from GLWA and typically has no mandatory outdoor watering restrictions, but voluntary odd-even lawn watering is encouraged during peak summer demand.
Livonia is supplied with Lake Huron water through the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and has not historically imposed drought-based outdoor watering bans. In most summers the city asks residents to follow voluntary odd-even outdoor watering, meaning homes with odd-numbered addresses water on odd calendar days and even-numbered addresses water on even days, ideally before 8 am or after 8 pm to reduce evaporation. Water-sensitive rules apply to new developments under Michigans Part 91 soil erosion controls and MDOT construction projects, but not to routine lawn watering. During unusual regional shortages or water main repairs, the city may issue conservation advisories through livonia.gov. Irrigation systems must have backflow prevention devices under the state plumbing code. Customer service at (734) 466-2750.
