Water restrictions in Pottstown, PA — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Montgomery County does not set a watering schedule. Pennsylvania is not under permanent western-style outdoor-watering rules. During dry spells, the PA Department of Environmental Protection issues drought watch, warning, or emergency declarations by county; watch/warning conservation is voluntary. Your local water supplier may add mandatory limits.
Unlike arid western counties, Montgomery County has no fixed odd/even or day-of-week watering schedule. Outdoor-water use is governed statewide by the PA DEP drought program and, more directly, by your public water supplier (such as Aqua Pennsylvania, PA American Water, or a municipal authority). PA DEP's Commonwealth Drought Coordinator declares drought watch, warning, or emergency status county by county; under a drought watch or warning, water conservation is requested but not legally required of residents. Only a drought emergency triggers mandatory statewide restrictions. During any declaration, individual water suppliers can and do impose their own mandatory limits (for example, alternate-day lawn watering), so check your water bill or supplier's website for current rules. Montgomery County itself does not enforce a
No county penalty in normal conditions. Under a PA DEP drought emergency, statewide mandatory limits apply and are enforceable. Water suppliers may separately fine or surcharge customers who violate supplier-imposed drought restrictions.
