Water restrictions in Troutdale, OR — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Troutdale has no mandatory watering schedule or drought-stage outdoor watering ordinance. The city's domestic water comes from city-owned wells tapping deep aquifers, with emergency inter-ties to Gresham, Fairview, and Wood Village. Public Works promotes voluntary conservation through the Regional Water Providers Consortium.
Under normal operations Troutdale draws all domestic water from city-owned wells in deep aquifers, with emergency inter-ties to Gresham, Fairview, and Wood Village. The city has not adopted a mandatory watering schedule, day-of-week rules, or drought-stage outdoor irrigation restrictions. Public Works recommends watering about one inch per week and offers free conservation kits (hose nozzle with auto shutoff, hose repair items, water gauge) at the Public Works Shop, 342 SW 4th Street, weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The city participates in the Regional Water Providers Consortium, which publishes a zip-code 'Weekly Watering Number' April through September.
No municipal penalty exists for outdoor watering because the rules are voluntary. Customers still pay for all metered water used, and the city may impose emergency conservation orders under utility authority during a supply emergency.
