Water restrictions in Simpsonville, SC — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
The City of Simpsonville does not adopt its own lawn-watering-day ordinance. Outdoor water use is governed by your water utility (Greenville Water or Metropolitan Sewer Sub-District providers), which can impose drought or conservation restrictions. The Zoning Ordinance does require irrigation for certain new landscaping.
Simpsonville has no municipal ordinance setting fixed lawn-watering days or hours for residents. Water service in the area comes from utilities such as Greenville Water, which may impose voluntary or mandatory outdoor-watering restrictions during declared droughts under South Carolina's Drought Response Act (S.C. Code Title 49, Ch. 23). For new development, the Zoning Ordinance's landscaping section requires that when more than 25 percent of required plant material is not native to upstate South Carolina, the landscaped areas be irrigated with a suitable system that complies with South Carolina laws and standards. Check your water bill or provider for any current watering-day limits.
Watering violations are enforced by the water utility under its own rules and any state drought declaration, not by Simpsonville code enforcement. New-development irrigation shortfalls are handled as zoning-landscaping compliance issues.
