Water restrictions in Schertz, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Texas sets no statewide watering schedule, and the county runs no water system. Limits come from your utility, Springs Hill WSC, Green Valley SUD, or a city, plus Edwards Aquifer Authority drought-stage pumping cutbacks.
Guadalupe County imposes no lawn-watering rules; whatever limits you face come from your retail provider and the groundwater authorities. Rural areas are served by Springs Hill Water Supply Corporation and Green Valley Special Utility District, while Seguin, Schertz, Cibolo, and New Braunfels Utilities run city systems. Much of the county draws on the Edwards and Carrizo-Wilcox aquifers, so the Edwards Aquifer Authority and the Guadalupe County Groundwater Conservation District order drought-stage pumping cutbacks when aquifer levels and springflow drop. During those stages, utilities typically move to one- or two-day-a-week watering and time-of-day limits.
There are no county or state watering fines. When your utility or the Edwards Aquifer Authority declares a drought stage, violating the assigned watering days, hours, or surcharges draws penalties set by that provider: warnings, then fines and surcharges.
