Water restrictions in Butler County, OH — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Ohio has no statewide outdoor-watering ban, and Butler County imposes no countywide lawn-watering schedule. Any restriction comes from your water utility (Butler County Water & Sewer, city systems, or Greater Cincinnati Water Works) during advisories or droughts.
There is no Butler County ordinance restricting when you can water your lawn. Ohio does not mandate statewide irrigation limits; the Ohio EPA Division of Drinking Water oversees systems, and the state EMA coordinates a drought task force only when conditions warrant. In practice, any watering restriction is set by your water provider. Butler County Water & Sewer serves West Chester, Liberty, Fairfield, Hanover and Ross townships plus Monroe and New Miami and issues advisories as needed; cities like Hamilton run their own systems; parts of the county are served by Greater Cincinnati Water Works. Check your utility's advisories page during dry spells for any voluntary or mandatory limits.
No county penalty. Utility-imposed drought restrictions are enforced by the water provider and may carry surcharges or service penalties if a mandatory ban is issued.
