Water restrictions in Lynwood, CA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
The City of Lynwood runs its own water system through Public Works. Municipal Code Section 14-1 limits simultaneous sprinkler use and lets the City Council curtail water use during shortages, with shutoff for violations.
Under Section 14-1.8 (Ord. #1670), the Public Works Department operates the City of Lynwood's water system and serves residents directly; Lynwood is its own water provider. Section 14-1.44 makes it unlawful to run so many outdoor sprinkler outlets at once that Public Works determines it materially affects the pressure or supply of the city system. Section 14-1.45 provides that in times of water scarcity the City Council may adopt a resolution limiting water use, and violating it is unlawful. Section 14-1.7 prohibits a private water well without prior City Council approval. The code fixes no specific watering days or hours; any limits would come from a council curtailment resolution or state drought regulations.
Under Section 14-1.44(b), Public Works notifies the offending user in writing and orders improper sprinkler use stopped. Under Section 14-1.45, violating a curtailment resolution can result in water shutoff until a reconnection fee set by the City Council is paid.
