Water restrictions in Norristown, PA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Services Code authorizes the Governor to impose mandatory statewide drought water-use restrictions that override local rules during declared emergencies.
Under 35 Pa.C.S. Ch. 73 (Emergency Management Services Code) and Act 9 of 2002, the Governor may declare drought emergencies and impose mandatory non-essential water-use restrictions, including bans on lawn watering, car washing, and ornamental fountain use. PADEP coordinates with the Drought Task Force. State emergency restrictions preempt local ordinances during declared emergencies.
Violations during declared drought emergencies are summary offenses; fines up to $300 per violation, with utility-imposed surcharges and possible service suspension for repeat offenders.
