Water restrictions in Weld County, CO — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Colorado has no statewide homeowner watering ban; rules are set by your water provider. City of Greeley customers may not water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., water on assigned days by even/odd address, and cannot water at all between November 1 and April 14 without a variance.
There is no county-wide or statewide lawn-watering ban in Weld County; each municipal water utility sets its own schedule. The City of Greeley's water conservation rules prohibit watering during the heat of the day and assign watering days by address: even-numbered addresses water Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, and odd-numbered addresses water Monday, Wednesday and Saturday (customers on the residential water-budget program may choose their days). Outdoor watering is prohibited entirely from November 1 through April 14 unless you obtain a variance. Rules can tighten in a declared drought year; in 2026 Greeley declared an adequate water year with normal guidelines.
Greeley enforces watering rules through its Water & Sewer Department; violations are reported for enforcement and repeat offenders can face escalating penalties and loss of watering privileges.
