Water restrictions in Spartanburg County, SC — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Spartanburg County sets no lawn-watering ordinance. Outdoor watering limits come from your utility, Spartanburg Water, which activates address-based schedules during drought under South Carolina's Drought Response Act.
Neither Spartanburg County nor the City of Spartanburg codifies routine outdoor-watering days. Restrictions are set by Spartanburg Water and the South Carolina Drought Response Committee under the SC Drought Response Act (S.C. Code Title 49, Ch. 23). During severe-drought periods Spartanburg Water has asked customers to water outdoors only on assigned days using an address-based split (even-ending addresses/A-M on set days, odd/N-Z on others) between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to cut evaporation. These are typically voluntary conservation requests unless the utility or state declares mandatory restrictions. Always check Spartanburg Water's current drought status for the schedule in force.
Voluntary conservation requests carry no fine. If Spartanburg Water or the state escalates to mandatory restrictions, the utility may enforce penalties per its tariff.
