Water restrictions in Mansfield, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Mansfield enforces year-round twice-weekly outdoor watering schedules with sprinklers banned 10 am to 6 pm. Drought stages declared by Tarrant Regional Water District add further restrictions when needed.
The City of Mansfield maintains mandatory year-round outdoor watering restrictions as part of Tarrant Regional Water Districts (TRWD) regional conservation strategy. Residential properties are limited to two days per week for automatic sprinkler irrigation, assigned by address. Watering with automatic sprinklers or irrigation systems is prohibited between 10 am and 6 pm to reduce evaporative loss. Handheld hoses, drip irrigation, and soaker hoses may be used any day. During drought stages declared by TRWD or the city (Stage 1, 2, 3), additional restrictions apply including once-weekly watering, shorter watering windows, and prohibitions on washing impervious surfaces or filling decorative water features. Leaks must be repaired promptly, and water must not run off into streets or sidewalks. Mansfield offers rebates for water-efficient irrigation upgrades and landscape conversions through the WaterIsAwesome.com regional program. Contact the Water Utilities Department at (817) 276-4215 for current drought stage and schedule.
First violations typically receive a written warning. Subsequent violations can result in fines starting at around 100 dollars per occurrence, escalating with repeat offenses. During severe drought stages, fines increase substantially. Commercial properties face higher maximum penalties. Water service may be disconnected for persistent egregious violations.
