Water restrictions in Montgomery, AL — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board may impose watering restrictions during drought conditions. Even without restrictions, water conservation is encouraged.
Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board manages the city's water supply and may implement mandatory watering restrictions during drought or water supply emergencies. Typical restrictions include odd/even watering schedules based on address numbers and limiting irrigation to early morning or evening hours. During severe drought, outdoor watering may be banned entirely. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management also has authority over water use restrictions.
Violating mandatory water restrictions may result in warnings, fines, and ultimately water service restrictions.
