Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities (BOPU) enforces seasonal outdoor watering schedules. Even/odd address day rotations apply during summer, with no watering between 10am and 6pm to limit High Plains evaporation losses.
BOPU manages Cheyenne municipal water from the Stage I (Crow Creek) and Stage II (Little Snake River) systems. Standard summer watering rules limit irrigation to alternate days based on the last digit of the street address, prohibit irrigation during peak heat hours (typically 10am to 6pm), and ban water waste such as runoff onto sidewalks or paved surfaces. During declared drought stages, BOPU can tighten allowed days, restrict refilling pools, or require permit-only new lawn establishment. Customers receive notices via the BOPU website and utility bill inserts.
Watering during prohibited hours, on the wrong day, or causing visible runoff can trigger BOPU warnings, fines escalating per offense, and potential service flow restriction during drought stages.
