Water restrictions in Ottawa County, MI — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
There is no county-wide watering ban. Restrictions come from your water supplier. Communities on the City of Wyoming water system, including Holland, Georgetown, Hudsonville and Jamestown, follow an odd/even outdoor-watering pattern during peak supply periods.
Ottawa County itself sets no lawn-watering rule; your municipal water supplier does. Much of the county buys treated water from the City of Wyoming (and the Holland Board of Public Works), and during capacity-limited periods those systems ask customers to alternate sprinkling by odd/even calendar day matching the house address. The current Wyoming-system restriction runs through mid-June with no hourly limits and applies to all lawn sprinkling, pool filling and outdoor watering; it can become mandatory if demand outpaces supply. Well owners on private water are not affected. Check your city or township utility page for the season's current status.
Voluntary now but can become mandatory; if enforced, the water utility may issue warnings and fines or restrict service for repeat over-use during a declared restriction.
