Water restrictions in Spanish Fork, UT — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Spanish Fork operates a metered pressurized irrigation (PI) system and enforces water waste prohibitions under SFMC §13.28.020. The city uses a tiered rate structure to discourage over-irrigation.
Spanish Fork was Utah's first city to meter pressurized irrigation — residents pay for all outdoor water used, creating financial incentive to conserve. Municipal Code §13.28.020 prohibits wasteful water use. The tiered rate structure charges progressively more per 1,000 gallons above base usage. Spanish Fork encourages connection to the PI system for all outdoor watering and offers rebates through the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (Localscapes Rewards, Smart Controllers, Toilet Replacement). During drought conditions, the city may impose mandatory watering restrictions or schedule-based irrigation windows. The state goal is 225 combined gallons per person per day.
Water waste: warning, then fines $50 to $500. Drought stage violations: escalating fines. Water surcharges possible.
