Water restrictions in Westland, MI — also called the watering schedule, outdoor irrigation rules, or drought ordinance — set which days and hours you can run sprinklers or irrigation.
Westland is served by Great Lakes Water Authority and has no permanent drought-based watering restrictions, though the city may request voluntary conservation during high demand.
Westland purchases drinking water from the Great Lakes Water Authority, which draws from the Detroit River and Lake Huron. Because southeast Michigan does not face chronic drought conditions, GLWA and Westland do not impose mandatory year-round outdoor watering restrictions or assigned watering days. During peak summer demand or system maintenance events, the city may request voluntary conservation including odd-even address watering or limiting irrigation to morning and evening hours. Customers must still avoid wasteful practices such as letting water run into the gutter, watering during rainfall, or leaving broken sprinkler heads unrepaired. Cross-connection control rules require backflow prevention on irrigation systems to protect the public water supply.
