Water restrictions in Sunrise, FL — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Sunrise, which runs its own utilities, enforces Broward County's year-round irrigation rule. Odd-numbered addresses water Wednesday and Saturday; even addresses Thursday and Sunday, only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Friday is a no-watering 'dry day.'
The City of Sunrise operates its own water utility and enforces the South Florida Water Management District's year-round landscape irrigation schedule used across Broward County. Homes and businesses with odd-numbered addresses may irrigate Wednesday and Saturday; even-numbered (or no) addresses may irrigate Thursday and Sunday, only before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Friday is a countywide no-watering 'dry day,' and Monday and Tuesday are not assigned watering days. Reclaimed-water users may irrigate any day within the same hours. Sunrise's landscape code (Sec. 16-163) requires an automatic rain-sensor shutoff on sprinkler systems, and Fla. Stat. §373.185 protects the right to Florida-Friendly Landscaping.
Watering on prohibited days or hours: warning, then escalating fines. During declared water shortages the district and city impose stricter limits and higher penalties.
