Water restrictions in Parma, OH — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Parma receives water service from Cleveland Water, the regional utility drawing from Lake Erie. Because Lake Erie provides abundant supply, no routine outdoor watering restrictions apply. Temporary voluntary conservation requests may be issued during main breaks or maintenance events.
Cleveland Water serves over 1.4 million people across Cuyahoga and surrounding counties. Unlike western U.S. utilities, it does not impose day-of-week irrigation schedules or drought surcharges under normal operations. Residents pay by metered use, and the utility publishes annual water quality reports. Rainwater harvesting for irrigation is permitted.
