Water restrictions in Orland Park, IL — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Orland Park enforces an odd/even lawn watering schedule from May 15 to September 15 per its Lake Michigan water supply allocation. Watering is restricted to early morning and evening hours.
Orland Park receives its drinking water from Lake Michigan via the Oak Lawn pipeline (sourced from the City of Chicago). As a Lake Michigan allocation permittee under the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Orland Park is required to enforce conservation rules including a sprinkling ordinance from May 15 through September 15 each year. During this period, lawn watering with sprinklers is restricted to: odd-numbered addresses on odd calendar days, even-numbered addresses on even calendar days. Watering hours are typically restricted to before 11:00 AM or after 6:00 PM (varies by year and drought conditions) to reduce evaporation and peak system demand. Hand-watering with a hose-held nozzle and drip irrigation are generally exempt. Drought emergencies may trigger total bans. Contact Orland Park Public Works at (708) 403-6350.
Sprinkling violations typically result in warnings followed by fines of $50 to $250 per occurrence. Repeat violations escalate. During drought emergencies, fines may be higher and water service may be limited.
