Roseville, MN Landscaping Rules: Water Restrictions (2026)

Section 801.14 is one sentence, and what it does is point elsewhere. It says all water customers and consumers are governed by the applicable regulations promulgated by the board of water commissioners of the City of Saint Paul "as to limitations in the time and manner of using water." The Roseville text itself prints no odd-even days, no banned hours, no gallon cap and no named season. Any watering calendar sits in the Saint Paul board's regulations, which the Roseville code does not reproduce, so a resident has to read the current Saint Paul rules to learn the actual days.

The same sentence adds a second layer: "such other applicable regulations promulgated by the city council affecting the preservation, regulation and protection of the water supply." The Roseville City Council can therefore set its own limits by regulation without amending the code section.

Other sections of Chapter 801 shape how outdoor water use works. Section 801.10(a) requires that, except for extinguishment of fires, water drawn from the system pass through a meter supplied or approved by the city. Section 801.04 bars using water from the system for any purpose except upon the person's own premises unless the public works director gives written consent. Section 801.13(b) requires air conditioning systems connected to the public water system to carry water conserving and water regulating devices approved by the public works director. Section 801.15 states that the city is not liable for any deficiency or failure in the supply of water and that water can be shut off at any time in case of fire, alarm of fire, repairs or construction of new works, and kept off as long as necessary.
