Water restrictions in Marietta, GA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
GA Water Stewardship Act (2010) year-round restriction: no landscape irrigation 10 AM–4 PM daily. Marietta Water and Cobb County Water System enforce drought-triggered level 1–4 restrictions when EPD declares drought.
Under the Georgia Water Stewardship Act of 2010, landscape irrigation is restricted statewide to before 10 AM and after 4 PM every day (all days of the week). This permanent restriction applies to all outdoor watering to minimize evaporation. Marietta residents are served by the City of Marietta Water system (Chattahoochee River/Lake Allatoona source via Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority). During EPD-declared drought conditions, additional Level 1–4 restrictions progressively limit irrigation frequency, days, and methods. Current restrictions are posted at mariettaga.gov/1141/Water-Restrictions.
First violation: warning. Second: $100 to $250. Third: $500+. Water service restriction possible during severe drought.
