Water restrictions in Sumner County, TN — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Tennessee has no statewide watering mandate, and Sumner County draws on Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River. Any lawn-watering limits come from your water provider, such as Gallatin Public Utilities or the White House Utility District, during drought.
Sumner County sets no countywide lawn-watering rules. Tennessee imposes no statewide water-conservation mandate, and the region is water-rich, bordered by Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River. Water service is split among providers: Gallatin Public Utilities, the White House Utility District (one of Tennessee's largest), the Hendersonville Utility District, and the Castalian Springs–Bethpage Water Utility District. Any outdoor-watering restrictions, such as odd/even day schedules, are declared by your specific provider during drought, so check whoever bills you. Regional supply projects have been built to guard against summer drought deficits.
Set by your water provider. Drought-stage watering violations typically bring a warning, then escalating fines and, for repeat offenders, possible service action.
