Water restrictions in Parsippany, NJ — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Morris County sets no watering ordinance. Lawn-watering limits in New Jersey are declared statewide by the NJDEP under its drought tiers (Watch, Warning, Emergency). Mandatory restrictions and fines apply only in a Governor-declared Drought Emergency.
Water use during shortages is governed by the NJDEP under the Water Supply Management Act rules, N.J.A.C. 7:19. NJDEP uses four tiers — Normal, Watch, Warning, and Emergency. Under a Drought Watch or Warning, NJDEP asks households to voluntarily cut back, typically watering lawns no more than two days per week and before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m.; there are no fines at these levels. Restrictions become mandatory and enforceable only when the Governor declares a statewide Drought Emergency. Individual water utilities and towns may also impose their own odd/even or day-of-week watering rules — check your local water provider.
No penalty during voluntary Watch/Warning. In a declared Drought Emergency, NJDEP mandatory restrictions carry state penalties; local utilities may separately fine over-watering.
