Water restrictions in Sandy, UT — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Sandy follows Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's stage-based watering schedule — typically 3 days/week by odd/even address during normal years, reduced to 2 days during Stage 2 drought. No watering between 10 AM and 6 PM year-round; winter watering prohibited Nov-Mar.
Sandy's water provider Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District (JVWCD) sets landscape watering rules that Sandy adopts. Under normal conditions, even addresses water Tue/Thu/Sat and odd addresses water Mon/Wed/Fri, with Sunday as a day-off. No outdoor irrigation is allowed between 10 AM and 6 PM to reduce evaporation — Salt Lake Valley ET rates can exceed 60% loss during midday. Winter watering (Nov 1-Mar 1) is prohibited except for drip establishment of new plantings. Stage 2/3 drought declarations, common in recent years, reduce watering to 2 days/week or less. JVWCD and Sandy offer turf-removal rebates (typically $2/sqft through Utah's 'Flip Your Strip' program) to convert park strips to waterwise landscaping.
First violation: written warning. Second: $50-$150 fine. Third+: $250-$500 and possible water flow restrictor installation. Watering during total ban: $500+.
