Water restrictions in Post Falls, ID — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Kootenai County itself sets no countywide lawn-watering schedule. Outdoor watering limits, if any, come from your city or your water/irrigation provider. Under Idaho law, outdoor irrigation of lawns and landscaping is not treated as household in-home water use.
There is no county-wide outdoor-watering ordinance for unincorporated Kootenai County; the county's water role runs through Panhandle Health District (wells, septic) and state water administration, not lawn schedules. Any day-of-week or time-of-day watering limits are imposed by individual cities or by water and irrigation districts serving your address. Idaho Code 42-111 defines in-home use and specifically states it does not include irrigation of lawns, gardens, landscaping, pastures, or other open spaces, so landscape watering is a separate water-right/utility matter. Check with your city and your water provider for current conservation or drought restrictions.
Any penalties come from your city ordinance or water-provider rules (service warnings, surcharges, or shutoff), not from a Kootenai County lawn-watering ordinance.
