Water restrictions in Tyler, TX — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Tyler Water Utilities asks customers to water lawns just two days a week, before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. Even-numbered addresses water Sundays and Thursdays; odd-numbered addresses water Saturdays and Wednesdays. Drought stages can make limits mandatory.
The City of Tyler's recommended watering schedule limits outdoor irrigation to two days per week, before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m., to protect water pressure and reduce evaporation. Days are set by the last digit of the address: even numbers water Sundays and Thursdays, odd numbers water Saturdays and Wednesdays. This schedule is voluntary in normal conditions but becomes enforceable under the city's Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan, which the TCEQ requires be reviewed every five years. Stage 2 adds mandatory time-of-day watering limits and restricts vehicle washing and pool filling to set hours; it can be triggered by drought or treatment-plant failures. Hand watering and drip systems are allowed anytime.
Under mandatory drought stages, watering outside the allowed days or hours is a municipal offense; Tyler Water Utilities enforces the Drought Contingency Plan with warnings, fines under Sec. 1-4, and possible service penalties.
