Water restrictions in North Richland Hills, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
North Richland Hills follows a year-round twice-weekly watering schedule based on address. Stage restrictions through Trinity River Authority tighten limits during drought to once weekly or less.
North Richland Hills purchases water from the Trinity River Authority (TRA) and Fort Worth Water, both of which follow the Region C Water Plan and TCEQ drought contingency rules. The city enforces a year-round twice-per-week irrigation schedule: addresses ending in even numbers water Wednesdays and Saturdays; odd-numbered addresses water Thursdays and Sundays. Watering with automatic or hose-end sprinklers is prohibited from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily to reduce evaporation. During declared Stage 2 or Stage 3 drought conditions, watering may drop to once every seven days or be prohibited entirely. Hand-watering, drip irrigation, and soaker hoses remain allowed anytime. Public Works issues warnings for first offenses, then citations of 200 to 2,000 dollars for repeat violations. Residents in Home Town, Smithfield, and Iron Horse should check the city Water Services page before each watering cycle. Rebates are available for WaterMyYard smart controllers. Call (817) 427-6200 for current stage status.
