Water restrictions in Perth Amboy, NJ — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Middlesex County does not set lawn-watering schedules. Outdoor water use is governed by your water utility (Middlesex Water Company or NJ American Water) and by any statewide drought restriction NJDEP declares. Municipalities may add their own limits.
There is no Middlesex County ordinance dictating when residents may water lawns. Retail water service is provided mainly by Middlesex Water Company (Woodbridge, Metuchen, Carteret, parts of Edison and South Plainfield) and by New Jersey American Water in other towns, with some municipal systems. During dry periods, these utilities may impose voluntary or mandatory conservation measures such as odd/even-day irrigation limits. Statewide, NJDEP under N.J.S.A. 58:1A can declare a drought watch, warning or emergency imposing binding outdoor-water restrictions across affected counties, including Middlesex. Municipalities may also adopt local watering ordinances. Because no fixed county schedule exists, check your utility website and any active NJDEP drought declaration, and verify the current restriction level with your water provider before irrigating.
Water-use violations are enforced by your utility (service warnings or fees) or, during a declared drought emergency, by the state. Any municipal watering ordinance is enforced by the town.
